Lisboa Cultura

Lisboa Cultura is the cultural brand of EGEAC – Empresa de Gestão de Equipamentos e Animação Cultural, E.M., S.A., a municipal company owned by the Lisbon City Council. EGEAC is responsible for the preservation, promotion and management of some of Lisbon's most emblematic cultural spaces, as well as for producing the Festas de Lisboa and other large-scale cultural events that take place seasonally across the city. The company has operated in Lisbon for around three decades and adopted the Lisboa Cultura brand in 2024 to unify its public-facing identity. Through Lisboa Cultura, EGEAC runs a multidisciplinary, inclusive and democratic programme that spans both contemporary and traditional popular culture. Its universe includes a diverse set of museums, monuments, theatres, a cinema, municipal galleries, and programming and production in public space. This breadth gives the organisation flexibility and the capacity to innovate, positioning it as one of the leading cultural companies in Portugal. Its stated mission is to promote diversified and qualified access to cultural goods and services, stimulate artistic creation, enhance cultural heritage, encourage audience growth and training, and develop the promotion, preservation and dynamism of Lisbon's cultural activity. The organisation is led by a Board of Directors chaired by Pedro Moreira. Strategically, Lisboa Cultura focuses on several axes: the dynamism of cultural facilities (theatres, museums, galleries and anchor events in public space); proximity and inclusion, bringing cultural activities to peripheral neighbourhoods and under-represented communities and maintaining the Passe Cultura measure for younger and older Lisbon residents; promotion of artistic creation through contemporary and experimental work in music, visual and performing arts and multimedia, as well as exchanges and co-productions with national and foreign institutions; preservation and enhancement of heritage through rehabilitation and modernisation of historic facilities; and digital innovation and communication. The brand's graphic identity is documented in a dedicated visual identity manual.
