Faro, Supporting and Succeeding through culture

Well-aware of its role in and responsibility for the cultural and creative sector, Faro council has launched a support programme encompassing specific initiatives for the cultural and creative sector, which, among others, has been severely affected by measures implemented in an attempt to contain and mitigate the new coronavirus. 

This programme has been named "Faro Consigo na Cultura" (Faro, Supporting and Succeeding through culture), and includes eight support measures for associations, artists and cultural agents in the municipality, which will be provided by Faro city council, Teatro das Figuras and the team behind Faro's bid for European Capital of Culture 2027. 
​
From this set of measures, which you can find out more about here, we would like to highlight three in particular, which reinforce the commitment the city is making to local creatives and artists. The deadline for applications is the 20th April.
