The Study on the Artistic and Cultural Sector in Portugal is the result of an institutional partnership agreement between the Directorate-General for the Arts (DGARTES) and Iscte-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, through the Portuguese Observatory of Cultural Activities (OPAC), in order to follow the Council of Ministers Resolution no. 41/2020, of June 6th, which approved the Program for Economic and Social Stabilization. The Study aims to analyze the impacts of the crisis in the short and medium term, with the production of updated indicators that allow a rigorous characterization of the labor situation of workers in the sector, the existing equipment and artistic entities, in order to support strategic decision-making in the governmental area of culture and inform public and private entities as well as citizens. The study has three objectives: - To survey and characterize culture professionals as self-employed, precarious or intermittent workers regarding social profiles and labor profiles and to identify impacts of the crisis by COVID-19 in the short and medium term through a national survey that reflects the situation of artists, authors, technicians; - Share with DGARTES indicators on the universe of the entities applying for arts support programs, in order to better adapt the model during its revision and in preparation for the new cycle of pluri-annual support that will come into force in early 2022; - Create the Artistic and Cultural Atlas of Portugal, for the characterization of existing cultural equipment and artistic structures and entities in activity.
