Category: Culture and Entertainment > Theatre

District: Setúbal > Setúbal > Setúbal > Bairro Salgado

Location

A Gráfica is located in the Salgado Neighborhood, in the city of Setúbal. This location occupies the building of the former Armazéns Papéis do Sado, an area that preserves the memory of the region's industrial past. Its location gives it a particular atmosphere and places it in an area of the city that has been gaining new cultural life.

A Center for Contemporary Creation

A Gráfica is a dynamic hub dedicated to cultural creation and production, where diverse forms of contemporary artistic expression meet. It is a space designed to host and develop projects in visual arts, performing arts, design, literature, digital culture, and architecture, among others. Its central purpose is to affirm Setúbal as a city that breathes and inspires art, offering a place where one can discover, celebrate, and participate in the creative dynamic.

Although much of the work carried out here involves research and experimentation processes, often invisible to the public, A Gráfica is also an open space for the presentation of results. Regularly, this center promotes initiatives such as debates, exhibitions, festivals, and installations, providing visitors with direct contact with new artistic trends and the work developed on site.

Industrial Legacy and Art

The Gráfica building, which once served as warehouses, retains its original characteristics, now adapted for artistic creativity. It is composed of several distinct spaces, which preserve the trace of its industrial history. Its high ceilings and the amplitude of its interiors make it particularly suitable for hosting activities that require scale, such as New Circus, or large-scale artistic installations.

The versatility of the former warehouses allows the space to adapt to various artistic production and presentation needs. In addition to the interior areas, A Gráfica also has outdoor spaces that serve as stages for activities, offering a unique environment where industrial heritage merges with contemporary artistic expression, providing an intriguing setting for visitors.
