Dear Setúbal Arts Enthusiast,

As we embark on our inaugural year of fostering creativity and enriching our community through the arts, we invite you to be a vital part of our journey. CREATIVUS, a nonprofit community arts center, is reaching out to passionate individuals like yourself to contribute to our Sustaining Fund Drive. Our goal is to raise €24,000 to support and enhance the various programs and services we intend to offer, ensuring the continued vibrancy of our cultural hub.

Fueling Artistic Expression: Your Support in Action

At CREATIVUS, our commitment is to provide a diverse range of programs and services that cater to the artistic needs, interests, and aspirations of our entire community. From supporting local musicians with practice time in our recording studio and offering them technical support for their performances in town, to maintaining an exhibition space to display artistic works of all kinds and to host gatherings, and offering educational and recreational programs for children, we strive to create an environment where creativity flourishes in all its forms.

A Haven for Creativity: Our Facilities

Our organization proudly houses a bright and expansive exhibition gallery, access to a state-of-the-art in-house recording studio, a podcast studio, and music practice rooms. These facilities serve as the backdrop for a myriad of artistic expressions, from visual arts to music, literature, and beyond. Your contribution to our Sustaining Fund Drive directly impacts the maintenance and improvement of these spaces, ensuring they remain accessible and well-equipped for the entire community.

No Paid Employees, Only Passionate Hearts

It’s important to note that CREATIVUS operates without any paid employees. Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to make the arts accessible to all. Your support directly contributes to the upkeep of our facilities, the implementation of diverse programs, and the realization of our mission to foster a thriving artistic community.
