Première 30, group exhibition
Vila das Artes in Estoril has a new cultural center. From July 2025, the Estoril Congress Center will become the Estoril Culture and Congress Center (CCCE).
On July 10, the inauguration of the Première 30 exhibition marks the start of cultural activities at the former Estoril Congress Center, now renamed the Estoril Culture and Congress Center (CCCE). The new name reflects the repositioning promoted by Cascais City Council and the D. Luís I Foundation, with the aim of expanding the space's capabilities and dedicating it to promoting and enhancing the visual and performing arts in the municipality.
The collaboration between Cascais Dinâmica, CMC and the D. Luís I Foundation in the management of the new CCCE will make it possible to present a regular and diversified cultural program that includes exhibitions, dance, theater, music, cinema and symposiums, as is already the case with the other facilities in the Museum Quarter and Vila das Artes.
Première 30, the exhibition chosen to kick off the activities, brings together works by 17 young emerging artists from Portugal and France. The show is part of the Première program, created 30 years ago by the Centre d'Art Contemporain - Meymac (France), which aims to promote new voices in the visual arts internationally, a purpose that converges with the mission of the D. Luís I Foundation.
The curators are Caroline Bissière and Jean-Paul Blanchet, from the Centre d'Art Contemporain - Meymac, and Luísa Soares de Oliveira, a Portuguese art historian and critic.
