Culture readjusts subsidies for theater, dance, and circus
Por FactBox Admin
The Andalusian Agency for Cultural Institutions has redistributed the credit for the 2026 call for grants for the promotion of theater, dance, and circus in Andalusia and has readjusted its annual installments, without altering the global amount of 1,550,000.00 euros. This is done through the Resolution of November 3, 2026, from the Agency’s Directorate, published in BOJA no. 216, of November 9, 2026 (page 14563, text no. 14563, reference 00345793). The readjustment affects the maximum amounts of each line and sub-line and, therefore, the final distribution among the competing companies and venues.
The origin: a call from May 2026
The call was approved by Resolution of May 25, 2026 (BOJA no. 102, of May 29), under the Order of April 23, 2026 (BOJA no. 82, of April 30), which approves the regulatory bases for these grants under a competitive process. Section 2.1 established an allocation of 1,550,000 euros charged to budget item 1951010000 G/45E/47002/00 01, from chapter IV of the Agency’s budget, distributed over three annual installments: 775,000 euros in 2026, 625,000 in 2027, and 150,000 in 2028.
Section 2.2 of the call enables the redistribution of surplus credit between lines and sub-lines, in proportion to the score and with the power of the Agency’s Directorate to decide the destination of the surplus upon the proposal of the Andalusian Institute of Performing Arts and Music, which acts as the Technical Area.
From the surplus to the new table of amounts
Following the provisional proposal of September 17, 2026, and the hearing process, a total surplus of 6,905.00 euros remained, coming from sub-lines 2.d) (2,355.00 euros) and 3.b) (4,550.00 euros). The Technical Area report of October 15, 2026, decided to assign it to sub-line 3.a), for grants for touring projects and attendance at festivals or exhibition events of special interest, to complete the amount for the last beneficiary by score.
The maximum amounts are as follows:
- Line 1: 75,000.00 euros (no change).
- Sub-line 2.a): 218,000.00 euros (down 82,000.00).
- Sub-line 2.b): 307,000.00 euros (up 82,000.00).
- Sub-line 2.c): 200,000.00 euros (up 25,000.00).
- Sub-line 2.d): 72,645.00 euros (down 2,355.00).
- Sub-line 3.a): 181,905.00 euros (up 6,905.00).
- Sub-line 3.b): 62,086.76 euros (down 37,913.24).
- Sub-line 4.a): 32,000.00 euros (down 18,000.00).
- Sub-line 4.b): 143,000.00 euros (up 18,000.00).
- Sub-line 4.c): 258,363.24 euros (up 8,363.24).
Less weight in 2028 and no new deadline
The second agreement partially modifies the payment schedule: the 775,000 euros for 2026 remain, but the 2027 annuity decreases from 625,000 to 712,500.00 euros and that of 2028 is reduced from 150,000 to 62,500.00 euros. The resolution specifies that the redistribution “does not imply the opening of a new application period” and takes effect from the day of its publication in the BOJA. The regulation was signed by the Director of the Agency, José Ángel Vélez González.
The move consolidates the weight of the production and exhibition lines compared to those with lower demand: sub-line 2.b) absorbs the bulk of the transfer due to the “high volume of concurrent applications,” while sub-lines 3.b) and 4.a) yield credit after not being exhausted and remaining below what was initially proposed. For the participating companies and venues, the result is a distribution different from what was planned in May, with more margin for tours and festivals and a payment schedule concentrated in 2026 and 2027.
