The São José dos Campos City Hall has announced the opening of registrations for 2,800 free spots in 180 cultural workshops under the Arte nos Bairros program, managed by the Cassiano Ricardo Cultural Foundation. Registrations began on Tuesday, February 24, and will be available until March 7, with applications exclusively via the São José Viva app.

Participants can choose from a variety of artistic disciplines, including music, dance, theater, and circus, catering to children, young people, and adults alike. The program aims to promote cultural engagement within the community, and important to note is that no prior experience is required to apply. Prospective attendees should visit the nearest Cultural House to select their preferred workshop.

To ensure smooth communication, the municipality emphasizes the necessity of keeping contact details updated in the application. Those who are selected will be notified via email regarding enrollment and the commencement of activities, which are expected to begin on March 16. This initiative reflects the city’s commitment to fostering creativity and cultural participation among its residents, further enriching the local cultural landscape.
