Rules for the state funding of the arts through the Ministry of Culture (Directorate-General for the Arts):
These rules were approved under Decree-Law 225/2006, of 13 November 2006, which defines its objectives as the consolidation and sustainability of a network of technically and professionally qualified independent cultural actors, allocated in a balanced way across the country’s various different regions. The legislation defines the ways in which the ministry should intervene, with a view to tying its measures in with other sectoral policies.
This Decree-Law was amended by Decree-Law 196/2008 of 6 October, which introduced support for creative activities and cultural programming, or a mixture of both, which seek to compensate for weaknesses in terms of publication, artistic training, internationalisation and facilities.
