Merc’art 2018

Merc’art 2018 showcases original works of art. This year it will bring together 30 artists, from renowned names to rising stars and first-timers. All of them in a container at LX Factory’s entrance. For the third edition, Merc’art curator and founder Alexandra Quadros brings together 30 painters, street artists, illustrators, photographers and digital artists, both Portuguese and foreign, in a single offline art market which operates online throughout the rest of the year.

This year, for the first time, Merc’art will open its doors to photography, bringing in three well-established names: Isabel Pinto, Paula Rosa, and José D’Almeida. As for illustration, the ‘veterans’ André Carrilho, Luís Alegre and Sara Feio will once again be present.

Street art highlightsinclude Jorge Charrua and the Spanish crew Boa Mistura. This will be the Madrid-based collective’s debut in Portugal, although they have attained international fame not only for their work in Colombia and the ‘favelas’ of Rio and São Paulo (Brazil), but also for their close collaboration with local communities.

In painting, Alexandre Alonso will once again be present. Duma Arantes, Cristina Troufa and Margarida Fleming will make their debut this year. As for plastic arts, Sónia Godinho is perhaps the most established name.

All these artists have created original works of art which can only be found at Merc’art..

Thursday to Saturday: 10 am to 8 pm; Sunday to Wednesday: 10 am to 7 pm
