The City Council of Lamego was recognized with the status of founder through the formalization of a protocol recently signed with the Serralves Foundation. In addition to this new assignment, this agreement establishes a partnership between both institutions with the aim of disseminating and promoting art among the Lamecian community, namely through the carrying out of various cultural and environmental activities.
Francisco Lopes, Mayor of Lamego, underlines “the importance of this partnership in carrying out several common cultural projects, but also in the context of implementing educational and environmental awareness initiatives. For Lamego it will be an excellent opportunity to host exhibitions and unique cultural events, with the seal of Serralves, and also to reinforce the notoriety of our municipality at the national level. On the other hand, it should also be noted that this agreement will allow the population to have closer contact with various artistic initiatives and Portuguese and foreign creators, which will also be a way of expanding and promoting their cultural habits.”
As the founder of Serralves, the Municipality of Lamego will have access to a set of actions related to this new statute, which translate into specific programming adapted to the local community and which encompasses the promotion of contemporary culture and environmental awareness, associated with other specialized skills of the Serralves Foundation.
