Invitation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00a0Amarante Performing Arts Biennial<\/strong> It is organized and produced by Sekoia \u2013 Artes Performativas<\/strong>, which is a non-profit cultural association based in Amarante, dedicated to the creation and development of contemporary dance. Starting from the territory, we develop projects that involve the local community and project themselves in national and international contexts, affirming culture as an essential element of the cultural and social development of the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are addressing all companies, and especially those in Amarante, because we believe that the local business fabric plays a crucial role in the vitality of the region. Supporting local cultural projects is a concrete way to invest in the community, reinforce the company's social commitment, and contribute to a more creative, dynamic, and attractive Amarante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The projects developed by\u00a0Sekoia \u2013 Artes Performativas<\/strong>\u00a0These projects are recognized as being of clear cultural interest and benefit from support from the Ministry of Culture, which guarantees a solid structural base, institutional legitimacy, and continuity of the work developed. Corporate support does not replace this public funding. It complements it.<\/strong>, functioning as a true lever that allows us to increase operational capacity, broaden the reach of projects and strengthen the impact within the Amarante community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, corporate involvement is a relationship of trust and shared responsibility. In this sense, we make a clear commitment to each sponsor: rigorous application of support to agreed projects, total transparency in the use of funds, and accountability through a dedicated accounting system for sponsorships, integrated into the association's activity reports. Corporate support is also clearly acknowledged in our institutional communications and promotional materials, always respecting the cultural and non-commercial nature of sponsorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also value the active involvement of patrons in monitoring projects, inviting them to learn about the different phases of the process \u2014 such as production, rehearsals, residencies, public presentations, or sharing sessions \u2014 allowing for a close and informed understanding of the impact of the support provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that, at times, the framework of cultural patronage raises doubts. Therefore, the Sekoia \u2013 Artes Performativas<\/strong>\u00a0We oversee the entire support process, providing clarification on procedures and, whenever necessary, coordinating with our accountant to ensure that the support is simple, secure, and correctly framed from a tax perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would be delighted to present you with more details about the projects under development and to reflect together on the most suitable form of collaboration for your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that supporting culture in Amarante is investing in the territory, the community, and the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
