Cultural Event
“Dia Aberto às Artes” (DAA) - “Open Arts Day” Project description:
The Open Arts Day (DAA) is a sporadic cultural event, initially organized by an informal group, that started in 2011 and has been growing since then. In 2018 it became a cultural association.
This initiative is intrinsically connected to the space where it has been developed and acts essentially as an artists’ incubator with a prespective of encounter and expansion.
DAA is an anual envent, that occurs during one day, beginning in the morning and continuing into the night, with free entry to the public.
Right now, we’re working onthe production of the 6th edition, programmed for the 18th of May 2019 from 11:00 to 24:00, in Margarida’s Place.
DAA is a multidisciplinar event that has a diverse programme congregating in the same space, different stalls (local craft, author pieces, painting, sculpture, etc.), workshops, music, performances, exposições, street food and more.

With a very diverse sorrounding puclic, from rural population to surf lovers, we aim to have a meeting of different artistic interests.
The event covers and invites a wide range of ages, from 5 to 80 years old, from the public to the participating artists, we’re looking to foster a connection between people of different genarations, offering activities aimed at families, students, artists, art lovers and non erudite public.
The sharing of knowledge is promoted through workshops and demonstrations where popular and contemporary knowledge is transmited. In this space of fusion, designers are mixed with local craft people in diverse shows.
Each edition of theis project has a unique and varied programme where we always try to include local artists and artists from other parts of the country, making this event a place of inter and multidisciplinary encounters with a large esthetic scope and referencial spectrum.
