What?

Philantra - Independent Art Festival is an annual festival produced by Filantrópica - Cultural Co-Op which aims to give space, support, visibility and audience to up-and-coming artistic projects, both individual as well as collective. Among the diverse languages we strive to empashize you can find the scenic and performative arts, the plastic arts and the audiovisual, digital and multi-media arts, all contributing to present to the community of Póvoa de Varzim an artistically and aesthetically refined programme, with events and shows for all audiences and ages and at reasonable prices (individual tickets range from 4 to 6 euros with all-access passes at 20 euros).

Where?

Taking the maximum advantage of its headquarters, Filantrópica - Cultural Co-Op opens its doors and allows the participants to present their work in its various and well-equiped spaces (its BlackBox Room, Art Gallery and Music and Painting Studios). At the same time, Philantra - Independent Art Festival strives to find emblematic locations in the city of Póvoa de Varzim where to stage many of its activities, trying to meet the audience in the places it naturally favours.

When?

As was the case in previous years, the 2014 edition of Philantra - Independent Art Festival will take place in the month of September, between the 3rd and 6th.

How?

Only through the work and dedication of Filantrópica's members and board of directors, with the help of the volunteer Organization Committee of Philantra - Independent Art Festival, the strategic support of the City Hall of Póvoa de Varzim and the contributions of individual and collective patrons are we able  to produce this festival. And, in this 2014 edition, so we wish to remain. 

About the author

Filantrópica - Cultural Co-Op is a cultural institution headquartered in Póvoa de Varzim with a 78 year long and diversified history, during which it was able to assert itself as one of the city's most dynamic entities. Its activities range from artistic teaching (plastic arts, danse, theatre), production and reception of cultural events (theatre, danse and music shows; art exhibits; conferences and discussion panels) to various initiatives about social awareness. Since the recent renovation of its headquarters' infrastructures, Filantrópica presents itself as a bold cultural center, capable of welcoming, producing and organizing all types of cultural activity, as well as establishing a permanent and productive dialogue with various cultural agents.

The team which leads Philantra - Independent Art Festival is composed by Inês S. Pereira and Pedro Galiza (actors, directors and theatre teachers) and Nuno Leites (motion designer).

Budget and due dates

The sum of 1500 euros we wish to raise will be applied, first and foremost, in covering the logistic expenses of producing the festival, such as: - Promotion and publicity (Posters, flyers, mupis, outdoors, etc.) - Transportation and accommodation of the participants; - Participant's fees; - Construction of stalls, sets and scenic structures for open-air events; - Various ordinary expenses; The deadline for the raising of this sum is the 15th of August, even though the programme of the festival will be closed by the end of July.
