Lisbon Art Weekend is a non-profit organisation that aims to contribute to the strengthening and fluidity of the contemporary art scene in the city through merging a diversity of art spaces such as galleries, artist run spaces, private art collections, museums and public projects dedicated to the arts. LAW organizes an annual weekend for art lovers from Portugal and around the world to visit Lisbon and its contemporary art scene and assist to parallel events centered around contemporary visual arts.

LAW’s main objective is to offer to the public of all backgrounds an opportunity to meet and visit Lisbon’s ever growing urban contemporary art scene and experience artworks and performances in their natural habitat. Additionally, LAW strives to offer a framework for discussion through a selection of parallel events.

Come join us on 6 – 9 November 2025.
Follow our calendar closely to keep up on events throughout the year.

Every November, we organize a special 4 day program, with dozens of events throughout the city, involving more than 200 national and international artists. During the year, stay tuned for our monthly event’s summary of what’s happening in Lisbon’s art scene.
