The Regional Government Council authorized cultural cooperation agreements for a multidisciplinary exhibition and a concert series, each receiving 5,000 euros in support.
The Regional Government of Madeira has approved financial support for two distinct cultural projects, representing a total investment of 10,000 euros. The decisions were made during a plenary meeting of the Government Council on July 9th and published in the Official Journal.
The support is granted through the signing of cultural development and cooperation agreements, as part of the region's policy of decentralization and promotion of cultural offerings. Both agreements are effective until December 31, 2026.
The supported projects are as follows:
The agreements will be signed by the Regional Secretary for Tourism, Environment and Culture and the Regional Director of Culture. The expenses are included in the Region's budget for 2026.
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.
