ARTISTS EXHIBIT

The Group VIAJARTE (equiv. “TRAVELART”) aims to disseminate the group’s artwork through local au-thorities, government agencies or other entities that show interest in exhibiting the works of this group in municipal buildings, galleries and other cultural organizations.

It is generally believed that most artists prefer to show their work in the big cities (even though many dis-tricts and small towns have excellent facilities and well-equipped showrooms and galleries) with the effect that enthusiasm for and participation in artistic initiatives of contemporary art in smaller rural and urban cen-tres is often diminished as a result.

The members of the group VIAJARTE are long-term friends and former members of “Viragem – Associação dos Artistas Plásticas de Cascais” (1984 – 1992), who have once more come together to re-group and to exhibit collectively throughout Portugal, not only to show their work to the larger population, but also, to capture the attention and interest of artists working in the provinces where Grupo VIAJARTE exhibits.
