Key details
The Ministry of Culture (MinC) is conducting a live virtual event on January 16 to address questions regarding the conclusion of Cycle 1 of the Aldir Blanc Cultural Promotion Policy. This session, targeting municipal and state public managers and streamed on MinC's YouTube channel, focuses on essential administrative duties due by January 30 to ensure a smooth transition to the next cycle and maintain transparency. Topics include managing remaining funds, submitting reports through TransfereGov, classifying expenses using the BB Gestão Ágil app, and reporting funding data via the CultBR platform. MinC has also provided updated support materials online to assist managers.
Complementing these efforts, the Fundação Cultural de João Pessoa (Funjope) announced a series of community meetings from January 20 to February 4 across João Pessoa neighborhoods. These gatherings aim to guide local artists, particularly from marginalized communities, in applying for cultural funding through the Aldir Blanc National Policy. Marcus Alves, Funjope’s executive director, highlighted the creation of the 'Escritório de Ideias' to strengthen outreach and expects a 20% increase in artist registrations from peripheral areas. Collaborations with local associations and the Central Única de Favelas (Cufa) underpin plans to ensure equitable access to resources.
These synchronized initiatives underscore the commitment to support public managers and artists alike in the ongoing cultural funding process under the Aldir Blanc Policy cycle.
