ART-MAP

Roman Baths of Upper Cividade

After having passed through Aveiro and Ponte de Lima, the 'Art-Map' is now in Braga. For this third edition, this national art project launched a challenge to the participating artists so that, from a more contemporary view, they portray the Baroque, a strongly creased style in the city of Braga.

Madina Ziganshina, curator of this Arts Festival, said at the inauguration of the show at the Lúcio Craveiro da Silva Library, that this script was originally intended to integrate 50 exhibitors but, given the large volume of artists competing and the increase of spaces Available to accommodate these works, it was possible to raise the number to 80, corresponding to 270 different works.

The curator was particularly "happy" to bring this script to the city of Braga, "one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal".
