The National Cultural Plan (PNC) was regulated by law in the National Congress in December 2010, after extensive discussions at the national level with artists, intellectuals, cultural policy managers from public and private agencies, among others. The National System of Culture (SNC), created by a specific law - Art 216-A of Constitutional Amendment No. 71, of November 29, 2012, is the main articulator federative of the PNC, establishing mechanisms of shared management between the federated units and the civil society. The research "National System of Culture (SNC): An evaluation of the implementation in the RN (2010-2015)" had as general objective to carry out an evaluation of the implementation of cultural policy in Rio Grande do Norte (RN), after the advent of the PNC/ SNC, in the period 2010-2015. Among the specific objectives were: to map and analyze the institutional design of the PNC and the SNC; to evaluate the SNC implementation in the RN, with the respective State System and Municipal Cultural Systems of a sample of Natal and 10 municipalities, in the period 2010-2015, year in which the Ministry of Culture (MinC) carried out a review of the PNC/SNC implementation . From the three dimensions of culture - symbolic, citizen and economic, from a concept defined by the MinC - the research investigated mainly the economic, especially the creative economy. To carry out the research, the methodological process consisted of literature review and documentary research of brazilian cultural policy. Then, field surveys were conducted, with interviews with managers, artists, intellectuals, cultural producers from Natal and ten municipalities, about the implementation of the SNC in the aforementioned quinquennium. The Research shows that the implementation of the SNC in the RN (2010-2015) has been partially implemented. Natal, through the Captaincy of Arts Foundation (Funcarte), was the sample city that most advanced to implement a Municipal Plan and System to be interconnected to the State System of Culture and the SNC. At the José Augusto Foundation (FJA) moroseness and discontinuities prevailed in the implementation of the Plan and the State System of Culture and in the administration of cultural assets, as shown by the fact that the Public Libray Câmara Cascudo and the Teather Alberto Maranhão (TAM) were some of the state's cultural facilities, which have been closed for years.
