Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) is an agency that orchestrates public support for the promotion of culture, both in Spain and overseas. Its aims include promoting Spain’s rich and plural artistic legacy and fostering the internationalization of its most contemporary creative and culture sector.
From historical heritage to emerging creation, AC/E strives to give prominence to culture as an essential component of a country’s reality and image, projecting it both within and outside Spain.
From visual, performing and audio-visual arts to literature, music, architecture and design, and from science to history, among many others, AC/E’s projects underline Spain’s diverse role in global culture, as well as the recent contributions of its newest creators.
AC/E’s program for the internationalization of Spanish culture (PICE) provides incentives for boosting the creative and culture sector’s capacity to operate internationally. It promotes the circulation of works, productions, artists, creators, agents and culture professionals through the mobility grants.
The program also awards grants for international visitors, enabling foreign influencers to come to Spain. They can thus gain first-hand knowledge of what Spain’s various cultural and artistic fields have to offer at festivals, fairs, and other events.
