Considering the importance of culture as a fundamental element for the social, economic and identity development of the State of Ceará, this research aims to analyze the expenses destined to the cultural function in the budget of the State of Ceará, in the periods of the Pluriannual Plans (PPA) 2016- 2019 and 2020-2023. The aim is to understand the allocation of resources in this area, as well as to discuss the programs linked to the cultural function and analyze their objectives. The methodology adopted in this research is exploratory in nature, seeking a comprehensive understanding of the resources directed to culture over the years analyzed. The results reveal a significant increase in the values of expenses settled in the cultural function in the State of Ceará, representing an expressive growth of resources destined to the area. Programs linked to the cultural function reflect affirmative actions, accessibility, appreciation of cultural diversity and democratization of access to cultural goods. This indicates a recognition of the importance of culture and greater spending on state cultural policies.
