Every two years, Visões Úteis welcomes both young performing artists and performing artists close to the retirement age, in an association which intends to facilitate the sharing of production know-how and the solidarity between generations. The condition of Associated Artist to Visões Úteis allows them to benefit from several advantages on financial, logistic and technical levels. The association of artists promotes trust between the economic agents and the professional and artistic development of the performing arts on a local level.
The next period for applications will occur between October 1st and November 30th 2010, and reports to the Association for the years 2011 and 2012. There are no formal requirements and the guidelines are the following:
