Galeria Vera Cortês was founded by Vera Cortês in 2006, in Lisbon, Portugal. Initially an agency dedicated to the development of specific projects by emerging artists (2003-2006), Vera Cortês decided to expand the program and became a gallery in order to create more opportunities to establish a longstanding and continuous collaboration with each artist. The gallery represents both national and international artists whose work spans across a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Committed to organising monographic exhibitions by its represented artists and promoting them on an international scale, the gallery also realizes projects and exhibitions with different curators and other artists to further the creation and exchange of contemporary artistic production.
