The Department of Culture has proceeded to pay the municipal aid aimed at promoting and supporting the cultural activities organized by the different cultural associations of Benidorm between March 14, 2020 and October 31, 2021. As explained today by the councilor of Culture, Jaime Jesús Pérez, the objective of these grants is to contribute "to alleviate the negative effects that Covid-19 may have caused in local cultural associations, while recognizing the economic effort they make to develop their activities."

Pérez has indicated that the requests received were evaluated by a technical commission, which decided to grant the three requesting entities the maximum amount foreseen in the call: 1,000 euros.
The beneficiary entities, which already have this amount, are Catarsis Theater Group, Benidorm Opinion Club and Castellano Manchega Tramontana Benidorm Socio-Cultural Catarsis Theater Group. An amount that the entities can allocate to “current expenses derived from the development of the projects or programs to be subsidized, to current expenses of the normal operation of the association, to rentals of material necessary for the development of activities and to real estate leases”.

The councillor of Culture has recalled that this call was open to cultural associations legally constituted and registered in the Register of Associations of the City Council, which reflect in their statutes that among their purposes is the realization, promotion or dissemination of cultural activities in the city , and that they have a stable, active and public headquarters or delegation in Benidorm

Regarding the activities subject to the subsidy, there were all those related to music, theater, exhibitions, cinema, conferences, and so on.
