The Regional Government of Madeira has authorized cultural cooperation protocols with five entities, aiming to promote music, theater, and artistic festivals.
The Regional Government of Madeira, through Government Council resolutions, has approved the signing of cultural development and cooperation protocols to support various artistic initiatives throughout 2026. The financial support granted is as follows:
These protocols aim to foster cultural decentralization, the appreciation of heritage, and the projection of local artists, with expenses covered by the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Environment and Culture.
The Regional Government has authorised a non-repayable grant of €967.97 for the Centro Cívico Cultural e Social da Ribeira Seca - Tuna de Câmara de Machico. The amount covers VAT paid in 2025 on expenses essential to the tuna’s activities.
The Regional Government Council revoked two decisions to fund cultural projects after their organisers said they could not go ahead because rescheduling was not possible. The revoked grants were capped at €5,000 and €1,500.
The Regional Government has authorised the distribution, from 2026 to 2029, of costs for the restoration project at São João Baptista do Pico Fortress in São Pedro. The investment amounts to €103,780, plus VAT.
