During the month of July (from the 6th to the 28th) the Fine Arts will be present in various shops and hotels on Avenida da Liberdade, at Art in Avenida, a joint initiative of the National Fine Arts Society (SNBA) and Avenida Association, which continues to invest in cultural events to attract Portuguese and foreigners to Lisbon’s most iconic avenue. The event is free and is curated by the SNBA, one of the cultural associates, a centenary institution responsible for selecting a small sample of its many artists, who will exhibit their works in different spots of Avenida da Liberdade.

Art in Avenida features original works from areas such as painting, sculpture, collage, photography and plastic arts.

For Associação Avenida spokesperson Sandra Campos, “making Avenida da Liberdade a place that promotes artistic culture and attracts with its creativity and beauty, inviting people to slow down and contemplate, means creating moments that are in tune with the atmosphere of this premium zone of the city. Ever since the 2021 Art Matters event, co-organised by the Gulbenkian Foundation, during which replicas of works from the Gulbenkian Museum were displayed in shop windows and commercial spaces on the Avenida, we wanted to create an event dedicated to the arts once again. The National Fine Arts Society turned out to be the ideal partner for this initiative, due to its prestige, know-how, diversity of talent and its proximity to Avenida da Liberdade. I would like to give a special thank you to all the 11 participating members who, embracing the Association’s vision, hosted the works in their spaces, allowing us to create a memorable event.”

The Art in Avenida event has the support of Lisbon City Council and Turismo de Lisboa.

  “SNBA reformulates itself in movement, towards valorization, identity, communication, searching and creating audiences, in the internationalization and also in differentiation through quality: there is no other venue with the characteristics it has today – considering its dimensions of independence and updating, along with its museography know-how and its exhibition effectiveness.”

 Prof. João Paulo Queiroz, president of the board of SNBA
