All You Need is Art 2023: Lisbon’s Premier Art Festival

From October 26th to 29th, the historic Cordoaria Nacional in Lisbon will come alive with creativity as the All You Need is Art festival returns for its second edition. This much-anticipated event is organized by the esteemed art critic Linda de Sousa, celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of the contemporary Portuguese art scene.

Four Days of Artistic Excellence

Over the course of four days, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with some of Portugal’s most distinguished artists, who will be honored for their contributions to the nation’s cultural landscape. Notable names include:

• Paulo Faustino (Theater)
• Arlinda Mestre (Photography)
• Júlio Quaresma (Painting)

Special Tributes to Iconic Figures

This year’s festival will shine a spotlight on two influential figures:

• Rita Ribeiro, celebrating 50 years of an illustrious career in theater and television. Her contributions to Portuguese culture have left an indelible mark, and this tribute will be a significant highlight of the event.
• Florbela Espanca, the legendary poet, will also be honored with special readings of her poems by various Portuguese artists, offering a moving homage to her enduring legacy.

Engaging Discussions and Performances

In addition to the exhibitions, All You Need is Art will feature a thought-provoking debate on women’s rights, equality, and mental health – key issues that resonate deeply in the world of art and beyond. There will also be musical performances, enriching the festival’s creative atmosphere.
