What?
Philantra - Independent Art Festival is an annual festival produced by Filantrópica - Cultural Co-Op which aims to give space, support, visibility and audience to up-and-coming artistic projects, both individual as well as collective. Among the diverse languages we strive to empashize you can find the scenic and performative arts, the plastic arts and the audiovisual, digital and multi-media arts, all contributing to present to the community of Póvoa de Varzim an artistically and aesthetically refined programme, with events and shows for all audiences and ages and at reasonable prices (individual tickets range from 4 to 6 euros with all-access passes at 20 euros).
Where?
Taking the maximum advantage of its headquarters, Filantrópica - Cultural Co-Op opens its doors and allows the participants to present their work in its various and well-equiped spaces (its BlackBox Room, Art Gallery and Music and Painting Studios). At the same time, Philantra - Independent Art Festival strives to find emblematic locations in the city of Póvoa de Varzim where to stage many of its activities, trying to meet the audience in the places it naturally favours.
When?
As was the case in previous years, the 2014 edition of Philantra - Independent Art Festival will take place in the month of September, between the 3rd and 6th.
How?
Only through the work and dedication of Filantrópica's members and board of directors, with the help of the volunteer Organization Committee of Philantra - Independent Art Festival, the strategic support of the City Hall of Póvoa de Varzim and the contributions of individual and collective patrons are we able to produce this festival. And, in this 2014 edition, so we wish to remain.
