Location

Situated in the Cais area of Vila Franca de Xira, GART is at a central point of the locality. Its gallery and activity space, which welcome visitors and artists, are specifically located in the Jardim Constantino Palha. This position offers a tranquil environment, surrounded by a green space that invites contemplation, ideal for appreciating art in the urban and riverside context characteristic of Vila Franca de Xira.

Origin and Essence

GART, an acronym for Group of Artists and Friends of Art, was born from a series of informal gatherings between painters, photographers, and sculptors in the mid-1990s. These artists shared the vision that there was a pressing need to support and train new talents, allowing them to develop their creative abilities. Since its inception, GART has focused on being a space for learning and sharing, where art is encouraged and creativity is valued above all else.

Center for Artistic Creation and Dissemination

Over the years, GART has consolidated itself as a dynamic center for artistic production and dissemination in Vila Franca de Xira and beyond. It regularly organizes exhibitions that showcase the works of its members and guests, offering the public a diversity of styles and plastic expressions. Its activity extends to initiatives such as "Live Painting" events, which promote interaction between artists and the public, bringing art directly to the community and encouraging direct contact with the creative process.
