Local Art, Culture and Heritage Councils

The Local Art, Culture and Heritage Councils were created as a setting for the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage of the Capital District, within the Local Subsystem of Art, Culture and Heritage. These Councils are settings for the meeting, deliberation, participation and coordination of public and private policies, plans and programs and the respective strategic lines of investment in the fields of art, culture and heritage, in order to strengthen the cultural dimension as the axis for territory development of the localities in which the city is divided. Representatives of the different artistic expressions, of the social and ethnic sectors, of the cultural and heritage area, of the academy and of the media, participate in the Councils. Initially, the District System of Culture was created in 2002, and within it was indicated the creation of local systems of culture, which must include the Local Cultural Councils. In 2007 a reform was made to this District System and the District System of Art, Culture and Heritage was established, which included as a component the Local Subsystem of Art, Culture and Heritage, to which the Local Councils of Art, Culture and Heritage belong. The representatives of each of these councils also participate in the District Council for Local Affairs in Art, Culture and Heritage, which is also part of the Local Subsystem of Art, Culture and Heritage.
