About Us

DACOLECTIVA YOUTH CULTURE ASSOCIATION


DACOLECTIVA is a non-profitable Youth Cultural Association recently set up
by a group of young artists, with the aim of creating and promoting
initiatives intended to stimulate cultural dynamism in the visual, performing,
literary and editorial arts. We aim to contribute towards the development of
an innovative vision of society’s cultural panorama,presenting new
dynamic and creative approaches, as well as encouraging cultural
exchanges (either through artistic residencies, scholarships, tours, or
partnerships with other artists abroad). It is hoped that these will lead to
shows,exhibitions and / or other cultural entertainment and leisure events,
in the areas of intervention mentioned above. This will allow new artists to
have the opportunity to showcase, promote and / or sell their work, as well
as providing the public with privileged access to the most recent and
innovative ideas emerging in our art sector. We believe this will help draw
attention to the creative potential of the Portuguese, and also encourage
and anchor new cultural and artistic habits.
