The cultural project that promises to turn Algarve streets even more beautiful. Roadart - Design em movimento project, aims to promote traditional Portuguese art and culture creatively and innovatively.Through the decoration of Touristic Transport Vehicles by crossing the vision of young designers with the traditional Portuguese Heritage, Roadart project promotes the culture in a way never seen before
in the broad sense of the word, culture designates the set of customs, institutions and works that constitute the heritage of a community or group of communities.
Every ceremony or custom practised by our ancestors closely related to a particular culture or history of a community.
To be Portuguese is to ask your neighbour for a bunch of parsley and stay there for half an hour talking.Being Portuguese is to speak loudly in the street and restaurants without noticing.Being Portuguese is having the sea on the horizon and never looking at land, it ismoving forward until the sea ends, it isdiscovering, dreaming and inventing
The basis of the Roadart project is based on the partnership with Young Designers and through an open
competition, 7
young designers have been selected because of their vision and original proposal under the theme "Symbols
of Portugal"
which earned them the application of their work on the exterior and/or interior of tourist transport
vehicles.The
Artistic and Cultural Heritage interpreted by the individual style of each young designer will thus be
disseminated in
an innovative and attractive visual way, through the decoration of Tourist Transport Vehicles,
establishing the greatest
possible synergy between local artists, residents and tourists
The project could notgo ahead without the partnership with companies specialised in Tourist Transport.
Hence, the
companies that joined the Roadart project are extremely relevant and important because without them the
project could
not be carried out in the conditions initially established. This way and linked to the Roadart project are
