Website: Culturgest
Culturgest – Fundação Caixa Geral de Depósitos (Lisbon, Portugal) is dedicated to contemporary creation and presents a regular programme of performing arts, music, visual arts, cinema and contemporary thought aimed at a diverse public, which includes schools, children and young people, invited to enjoy national and international first-rate programmes and to partake in attractive and inspiring cultural activities.
Culturgest opened to the public in October 1993 and has since played a significant role in the artistic scene of both city and country. Culturgest follows the career of theatre directors and choreographers, producing new creations and presenting them to an eclectic audience; commissions visual artists to create works and organises solo and collective exhibitions; presents music concerts of many genres and supports and hosts major film festivals. In addition, Culturgest also offers a programme of lectures and debates, a wide variety of workshops, guided tours, meetings and initiatives for schools and families. And all this with a careful look at what is happening at home and abroad.
