When formalizing the opening of the call that will be in force until October 29, the Secretary of Culture of Jalisco, Lourdes González, explained that "Horizontes Jalisco" not only considers the delivery of an economic stimulus, but also the development of a program of mentoring and specialized workshops in digital design, user experience, and services, among others.
The official highlighted, "Horizontes Jalisco is possible in 2021, thanks to the will of the Government of Jalisco, which designated funds for the continuity of this call, which in this edition is carried out entirely with state funds."
She explained that in 2020 the call had resources from the federal government and with it 25 projects were promoted with various innovative cultural proposals, with processes and/or methodologies to make the organization, distribution, and socialization of culture more efficient through the research and interdisciplinary work.
In this edition, "Horizontes Jalisco" will have three divisions:
1) Project development: Destined to projects of any artistic discipline that seek their development, diffusion, or migration to the internet.
