Artwork made during the 2023 edition of ARTURb - United Artists in Residence

On the program ARTURb 2023 program, a Community Session will be held in Urb. Municipal in Bensafrim, Rua Mestre Romão, on October 8, with local residents, in order to define the painting of a mural in the same neighborhood between October 9 and 13, with the artist Mariana Santos.

ARTURb is a unique project in the Algarve that involves some of the most important names in urban art. This project consists of a period of artistic residency at LAC, followed by an exhibition at the same location and several public art interventions throughout the city of Lagos, guided tours and the launch of a catalogue.

During the period of artistic residency, artists have complete freedom to develop their work inside and outside the collective space of the LAC (former Lagos prison) which is available for any intervention, adaptation or artistic creation.
