“Sand I had more time, the other time, I had started the Arts Center, but it wasn’t possible, because I had just under a year to finish my mandate and so I left everything ready, with the acquisition of land, to one day move forward “, justified the president of the Chamber.
Now, and taking into account that “the original project is from 2010, it is necessary to work on it, update it and adapt it” to current times.
“This will cost just over 600 thousand euros, but if this project were to be carried out now it would certainly be much more expensive, but we have an original version that serves as a model for the update.”
The social democratic mayor also stated that the project will move forward, even without there being any type of financing”, despite having acknowledged that, with the change of Government, to the PSD, he is “thinking that there will be financing”.
“I’m also going to look for him, in other circumstances I would have more difficulty, but whoever the Minister of Culture is has to tell me why I don’t have the money here. What’s more, I’m going to ask if some PRR isn’t applicable here either” (Plan of Recovery and Resilience), assumed.
The arts center will be built next to the cyber roundabout, in the Avenida da Europa area, where the Viseu Court is located, and will have 1,500 seats, half of which will be in an open-air auditorium.
During the campaign for the 2021 local elections, Fernando Ruas — who had already been president of the Chamber between 1989 and 2013 — promised to resume the Viseu Arts and Entertainment Center project, which he had designed since 2010.
Fernando Ruas stressed that the arts center “will fill a gap”, remembering that Viseu has renounced hosting “more demanding shows” for which neither the Viriato Theater nor the multipurpose pavilion meet the conditions.
