Arte de Portas Abertas

Last week-end, our lovely neighbourhood Santa Teresa celebrates its annual Art Festival “ Arte de Portas Abertas”, where all the restaurants, ateliers, galleries and shops take part of a Opened Circuit which gather thousands of visitors every year.



For the very first time C38 was officially part of this Festival, that among the official programme has hundreds of events, music happening and interesting spots to be discovered. We had been indicated as one of the Cultural Centres, because of the Collective Exhibition that took place in our beautiful and just refurbished main Hall, which has been already named by someone Galeria38.



We had especially prepared some creamy Brazilian Hot Soup, served with freshly baked bread and tasty cakes and pies, together with our delicious Capuccinos and Expresso Coffees. The lovely weather and good vibes have been our special guests for the weekend together with the usual friends of Santa Teresa and hundreds of new visitors that had discovered our artists and privileged place for the first time.
