Fundação INATEL and Fundação de Serralves, national partners of Imaginarius, join the project in supporting the artistic creation of local agents, reinforcing a strategy that goes beyond the creative process and addresses the sustainability and projection of artists from the territory.
Imaginarius positions itself as a launch platform. Works created in Santa Maria da Feira and presented at the festival do not end at their premiere; they immediately enter a circulation circuit that expands their scale and consolidates their trajectories. The partnership with Fundação INATEL ensures support for creation and opens opportunities for dissemination in different programming contexts, contributing to the affirmation of these projects beyond their place of origin. In turn, Fundação de Serralves guarantees the presentation of the works at Serralves em Festa, integrating them into a nationally recognised programme and ensuring immediate continuity after Imaginarius. This direct transition reinforces the visibility of the artists and positions their creations within a broader cultural ecosystem.
More than occasional support, this articulation reflects a strategic vision: to invest in local creation with ambition, to build strong institutional bridges and to transform a context of production into a pathway of circulation and recognition. Imaginarius thus acts as mediator and catalyst for artistic trajectories, connecting local talent with national platforms of projection.
