The article describes some cultural initiatives organized and maintained by local
social groups contemplated, by bidding notices, with public funds from Cultura
Viva Program, of the Ministry of Culture. The description is permeated by an
analysis on the theoretical assumptions that founded the Program, as well as the
characteristics that assured the survival of the popular initiatives funded.
Starting from an empirical analysis of cases, the author claims that autonomous
cultural initiatives – originating from community demands – and that bet on the
social protagonism of those involved have higher chances of success, and it is
up to the public authorities to potentiate them so as to promote the empowering
of social subjects. It is concluded that the experiences of Culture Points offer new
nuances for the approximation between aesthetic, ethic and economy.
