Call 2027 and 2028
For 2027, GAM opens a call to receive artistic projects from different disciplines, formats and scales, aimed at creating diverse, contemporary and meaningful programming for different audiences. Proposals with artistic quality, programmatic relevance, technical feasibility, capacity for dialogue with the present and that consider strategies of connection, mediation or cultural participation will be evaluated.
By 2028, GAM opens a line aimed at premiere performing arts projects, due to their artistic, technical, budgetary or collaborative scale, which require greater planning time, institutional articulation and search for financing.
I. Objectives of the Call
- Support and promote projects that stand out for their innovation, artistic quality and potential impact on the national scene, considering both classical languages and contemporary and interdisciplinary explorations.
