Arte na Leira is located in the Arga area, in the municipality of Caminha, more precisely in Arga de Baixo. This place is in the heart of the Serra de Arga.
The surroundings are characterized by a natural mountain landscape, with wide views and a peaceful rural environment. It is a distinctive setting that integrates into the visit experience.
Arte na Leira functions as an art exhibition that hosts various forms of expression. Visitors can find works in painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and other creative areas.
This event takes place at Casa do Marco and has become an annual initiative with a long tradition in the Serra de Arga region.
Arte na Leira takes place at Casa do Marco, which is the residence of artist Mário Rocha, the promoter of the initiative. This house, once in ruins, was rehabilitated by him, transforming it into the space that now hosts the exhibition.
The exhibition is distributed throughout the house itself and the surrounding land, the "leira", creating an unusual dialogue between art and the rural environment.
A characteristic of Arte na Leira is the diversity of artists it welcomes. The exhibition brings together works by creators with established careers, both nationally and internationally, with works by new talents and students.
This coexistence between different generations and artistic experiences, presented in an informal setting, is one of the elements that define the unique identity of this cultural meeting point.
