‘Art Route– Lugar do Desenho – Fundação Júlio Resende’

 

Lugar do Desenho –Fundação Júlio Resende is a cultural space from Júlio Resende’s collection of drawings, made up of more than 2500 works that the painter collected throughout his career, which began in the 30’s of the 20th century.

Herein, visitors are invited to take a look to Júlio Resende’s work and discover his influences, sometimes a result of the local reality of the city of Porto, others from trips made through Europe, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique or Goa.

Júlio Resende’s Master Atelier is a workshop for the execution of large ceramic panels; the ideal space to initiate a new experience in the area of tiles, within the scope of Art Route.

Participating in a tile workshop is more than just an activity; It’s a journey through the history and technique that defines a significant part of Portuguese art. During the experience, participants are guided through all steps by artists, from preparing the ceramics to applying colors and the process of applying heat. Every step is a discovery and a unique opportunity to dive into the world of art and creativity.
