Open Artist’s Ateliers 2018 — 9AAA VG

The dialogue between emerging or already established talents with gallerists and collectors, critics and students, but above all with the general public (admission is free), has been a success since the first edition in 2009 in Lisbon – which was inspired by the pioneering Ouvertures d’Ateliers d’Artistes (OAA) in the French city of Marseille, under the responsibility of the Château de Servières Association.

This year, in which 194 Portuguese and foreign artists participate, there are studios where they develop drawing or painting, sculpture or ceramics, engraving or serigraphy, photography or video, illustration or multimedia, installation or performance – in a panorama of the various languages and tendencies of contemporary art.

For each participant to prepare their route in this rare opportunity to contact the creative spaces and exchange impressions with the authors, there is a map (available at the National Society of Fine Arts) and a website (www.castelodif.com) with all the information required.
