When ARTLINK’s founder members Paulo and Bob met back in 2021, they formed an instant connection. They were both at the beginning of their journey into exhibiting art and observations of the existing options at that time led to a conclusion that the way forward was to form their own collective. Adjustments made, lessons learned and changes in participating artists have lead to todays’ team of genuinely dedicated and talented artists.

Quinta da Tor winery was the collectives’ first host and over the years since then, the collective has organized exhibitions in over ten venues in the region and in the process has given exposure to the work of over fifty local artists and shared space with other collectives.

In recognition of the expectations of todays’ art buyer ARTLINK continues to practice the core value of meeting with and talking with people, allowing them time to understand the methods and attitudes behind each artists work. As for the future, that will take care of itself.
