The Ministry of Culture of Jalisco through the Directorate of Cultural and Creative Industries has released the results of the call for the Cultural and Creative Industries Projects, which can also be found on the agency's website.
The program provides public resources for the reactivation of Cultural and Creative Industries, which, given the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, must adapt to new needs and consider restructuring their business models. The measures of attention to face the COVID-19 pandemic affect the ways of creating, producing, distributing, and accessing goods and services with cultural and artistic content.
