The Street Arts, Circus, Dance and Theatre Creation competition of DGArtes' 2025 Project Support Program supported 84 projects, while 158 were left out due to lack of funds. More than half of the applications did not receive support, as the available funds were exhausted.
DGArtes is the Directorate-General for the Arts, the body responsible for managing support programs for the cultural sector in Portugal. The 2025 Project Support Program covers various areas of performing arts, including street arts, circus, dance and theatre.
The situation reflects the limitation of financial resources available for the cultural sector in the context of this year's program.
