For eight weeks, from September 15th to November 19th, a group of artists of Portuguese nationality and foreigners residing in Portugal will attend the Visual Arts Course promoted by FLAD – Fundação Luso-Americana para o Desenvolvimento, which will once again take place at the city of Loulé.
This is an advanced artistic training program in the areas of drawing, painting, and installation/sculpture, for students who have had at least one individual exhibition, aged between 25 and 35, and who will be able to delve deeper here the respective areas, with the support of tutors who are themselves artists and visual arts theorists. It will also feature the presence of guest professors. Since the course is essentially practical, with full-time studio activity, the role of teachers is to stimulate critical thinking individual imagination, and collaborative work.
The course will have Loulé City Council as its institutional partner and will take place at Palácio Gama Lobo.
