If you are trying to nurture an artistic project in any part of Jalisco, it may be eligible for financial support through a stimulus program offered by the State Culture Department.
The Programa de Estimulo a la Creacion y al Desarrollo Artistico (PECDA) will help fund projects in the fields of fine and visual arts, dance, literature, music, theater and cultural patrimony. There’s an emphasis on creative youth, children’s projects, the development of artistic groups and cultural research.
An information session about the grants (in Spanish) will be held on Monday, April 15, 11 a.m. at the Ex Convento del Carmen (Av. Juarez 638) in downtown Guadalajara. For further details go to www.pecdaenlinea.com.mx or call (33) 3030-13 86. ext. 2035.
