Meet the artists

You become part of the creative process. Meet artists personally in their studios. See how they work, what materials they use, and how ideas take shape. You don't just look at art; you experience its creation. Discover design, artworks, fashion, and jewelry from 25 selected artists.

Get creative yourself: Give them a good workout workshop

During the 'Give Them Cotton' workshop, you will discover the art of texture, color, and form. With Giselle Monteiro Tavares , you will work with cotton thread and wool to create your own artwork on canvas. Giselle will guide you, allowing you to work intuitively and create something unique.

Make your own The Traveler Buddy

In the 'The Traveler Buddy' workshop, you create a playful companion. You take this Buddy on a journey through memory and imagination. You discover your inner child and allow personal experiences to help shape it. At the end, you take the Buddy home as a reminder of your own creativity.
