Culturgest – Fundação Caixa Geral de Depósitos, situated at the Caixa Geral de Depósitos head-office building in Lisbon, is dedicated to contemporary creation. Culturgest presents a regular programme of Performing Arts, Music, Visual Arts, Cinema and Contemporary Thought aimed at a diverse public, which includes schools, children and young people, invited to enjoy national and international first-rate programmes and to partake in attractive and inspiring cultural activities.

Culturgest opened to the public in October 1993 and has since played a significant role in the artistic scene of both city and country. Culturgest follows the career of theatre directors and choreographers, producing new creations and presenting them to an eclectic audience; commissions visual artists to create works and organises solo and collective exhibitions; presents music concerts of many genres and supports and hosts major film festivals. In addition, Culturgest also offers a programme of lectures and debates, a wide variety of workshops, guided tours, meetings and initiatives for schools and families. And all this with a careful look at what is happening at home and abroad.

Culturgest is a private foundation set up by Caixa Geral de Depósitos, the Portuguese state-owned financial group. Caixa supports Culturgest by means of an annual allocation of funds and by making available the spaces and facilities it uses to hold its activities.

Culturgest actively collaborates with other cultural organisations and institutions, festivals, schools and faculties, companies, civil society organizations and government institutions. It is also part of several formal and informal international programming and co-production networks.
