Featuring creations by artisans from the Algarve and the North of Portugal, the “Artesanato de Mãos Dadas” exhibition will be on show at the Galeria Manuela Vale between July 4 and 31.

The Escola de Artes Mestre Fernando Rodrigues in Lagoa is hosting an exhibition showcasing traditional crafts from the Algarve and Northern Portugal. The “Artesanato de Mãos Dadas” (Hand in Hand Handicraft) exhibition will be displayed at the school’s Manuel Vale gallery between July 4 and 31.

Presented by the Association of Artisans of the Algarve (AAA) in collaboration with the guest Association of Artisans of the Northern Region (AARN), the exhibition will highlight the valuable expertise transmitted across generations. “The knowledge transmitted by our ancestors lies in the different interpretations and raw materials prevalent in each region”, says the organisation.

Through a collaborative effort, artisans from both associations will exhibit their handmade pieces, sharing their valuable ancient techniques and stories in a unified portrayal of Portugal.

The exhibition is designed to showcase the distinctive creations of artisans, highlighting the products that unite them while also setting them apart.

From Monday to Friday, you can explore the exhibition for free from 09h30 to 12h00 and 14h30 to 17h00.
