Neoenergia Institute has been supporting initiatives focused in the support to creative economy during COVID-19​ pandemic - especially with actions aimed to strengthen regional culture and economy initiatives. As a highlight, among other actions, is the support given to the public notice open up to May 3 by “Som Sem Plugs” (Unplugged Sound), one of the 18 projects sponsored by both institutions though Transformando Energia em Cultura (Transforming Energy into Culture) public notice and Câmara Cascudo Culture Incentive Law.​

The project will contribute to the professionalization of all artists and musicians from the state participating in the public notice, in a partnership with Sebrae-RN, and will select five artists in the State for web performances, with payment of fees, technical consultancy and exclusive awards, in addition to supporting other five artists from the State, who will also be paid.

For Renata Chagas, Neoenergia Institute Officer, art is something highly important in this special moment faced by all of us. “We are contributing with a project that supports actions targeted to creative economy during the pandemic, to strengthen regional culture and economy.  We are building together a way to stay together, expand knowledge and enable transformations”, says Renata. “I emphasize that the actions supported by us can be followed by any music lover, from any part of Brazil or the world - both the “lives” performed by the selected artists and the popular vote for choosing the artists”, she concludes.​
