Fundación Santiago Off

What Fundación Santiago Off does

Fundación Santiago Off is a Chilean nonprofit cultural foundation established in 2010 and headquartered in Ñuñoa, Santiago, that promotes and disseminates contemporary performing arts nationally and internationally. The organization operates as a multi-program platform rather than a single product, anchored by the annual Festival Internacional Santiago Off (now in its 15th edition in 2026) and complemented by La Rebelión de las Voces, a contemporary dramaturgy encounter; Escuela OFF, a free training program; EXPORT, an internationalization program producing audiovisual portfolios of Chilean artists; Danza Inversa, a dance cycle; and BCN_OFF / Foco Chile España/Portugal, international touring initiatives.

Its primary 'customers' are Chilean performing arts professionals (playwrights, directors, stage designers, choreographers, musicians, circus artists), emerging dramaturgs, and general theater audiences, alongside international festival programmers who host Chilean productions. The foundation is a project of La Fulana Teatro, led by director Claudio Fuentes and content director Carla Valles, with 11-50 employees.

Revenue comes from a mix of government grants (PAOCC, ProChile creative industries programs, Ministry of Cultures funding, DIRAC cultural diplomacy) and ticket sales through Ticketplus.cl; many events are free. Distribution runs through Chilean venue partners (GAM, Matucana 100, Centro Cultural Estación Mapocho, Teatro Biobío, Museo de la Memoria) and international festival partners in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Sweden, and Brazil. Core technology is limited to digital platforms for event promotion and registration, with no disclosed AI, API, or proprietary software components.
