Sources: 10. Developments: 2. The Mato Grosso do Sul Foundation for Culture (FCMS) initiated a series of public hearings to plan the allocation of resources for the third cycle of the National Aldir Blanc Policy (PNAB). These hearings, scheduled from October 26 to November 3, 2026, are being held in ten hub cities to inform the 2027 Resource Application Plan (PAR). The initiative aims to gather input from artists, producers, cultural workers, and civil society organizations to understand regional needs and identify barriers to funding access. By utilizing regional hubs, the FCMS intends to reach all 79 municipalities in the state to ensure future project calls support diverse artistic languages and territorial requirements. As of October 26, the process has commenced with initial meetings held in Naviraí and Dourados. FCMS President Edu Mendes stated that these contributions are essential to ensure planning reflects the “actual realities and priorities of cultural workers in different territories.” The hearings seek to evaluate access to funding and propose new selection instruments for the upcoming cycle. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Mato Grosso do Sul launches public hearings for cultural funding The Mato Grosso do Sul Culture Foundation has begun public hearings across ten hub cities to plan the 2027 allocation of National Aldir Blanc Policy cultural funds. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mato-grosso-do-sul-launches-public-hearings-for-aldir-blanc-cultural-funds ### 2026-10-21: Mato Grosso do Sul Foundation for Culture announces public hearings for PNAB funding The Mato Grosso do Sul Foundation for Culture will hold public hearings in ten cities to plan the 2027 allocation of PNAB cultural funding resources. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mato-grosso-do-sul-foundation-for-culture-announces-public-hearings-for-pnab-funding --- Cite as: Mato Grosso do Sul cultural funding hearings.
