WE ARE CALLING FOR ARTISTS
leadline for submissions:

After the success of "Fresco I", we announced our next project: Cidade a Cores .

This time, 9 artists will be selected to paint 9 portions of Portimão's Accessible Route between June and July 2024. The Accessible Route is a tour adapted for people with reduced mobility that runs through the historic center of the city. More details about the submission/selection process below.

Qual é o projeto?

The City in Colors is a mural... on the floor! The Accessible Route is a tour adapted for people with reduced mobility that runs through the historic center of the city. We held Fresco I. (see map) in the summer of 2023 with the artist Caïros and the success of the project led us to organize Cidade a Cores . In this phase, which has a larger scale, we will involve 9 artists to paint each of the 9 portions of the Accessible Route (see map).
