There is no single style here — and no magic formula either. The artists of Alma Artista explore different languages, materials and ideas with freedom and curiosity. Between resident artists, invited artists and occasional collaborations, what brings them together is simple: the desire to create and to engage with the space and those who inhabit it.
Alma Artista collaborates with contemporary artists from different backgrounds and practices.
Some are based in Madeira, others are just passing through — all leave traces.
