Lisbon Open Studios / Abertura Ateliers Abertos
Collective of 14 artists
6–8 November 2020
The first Lisbon Open Studios event at Oficina Impossível, held during the challenging conditions of the pandemic year.
The 2020 edition of Lisbon Open Studios / Abertura Ateliers Abertos was a landmark event for Oficina Impossível — the gallery's first participation in the city-wide programme, held just months after its inaugural exhibition. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, fourteen artists opened their studios to the public over three days.
Health and safety measures were carefully implemented, with timed entry and limited capacity ensuring a safe experience for visitors and artists alike. The event demonstrated the resilience of the arts community and the importance of maintaining cultural connections even in difficult times.
Organised in partnership with the Art Association Castelo d'If and the National Society of Fine Arts, this edition laid the groundwork for Oficina Impossível's ongoing participation in the annual programme.
