In 2024, Agrigento issued its first open call for proposals, as part of a new scheme entitled Innovar (“innovate” in Spanish). The aim of the scheme is to promote innovation in the field of music and social action in Latin America. For Agrigento, this was a pilot not only of an open call but also of smaller, more targeted grants. 12 projects were selected for seed-funding in 2024.
