Bordeira Arts Centre

EscolaNova – Bordeira Arts Centre

In the heart of the village of Bordeira, in the municipality of Aljezur, EscolaNova was born from the desire to transform an abandoned building into a vibrant space for gathering, artistic creation, and experimentation. A project by Lavrar o Mar Cooperativa Cultural, EscolaNova is a place of belonging and hospitality designed to regenerate memory and reactivate Bordeira's identity through art and participation.

More than an arts centre, EscolaNova is a laboratory where local culture and contemporary creation intersect. Here, artists and residents collaborate in creative labs, performances, workshops, and activities that foster knowledge exchange and celebrate the cultural richness of the territory. Through a participatory process, the space invites the community to play an active role in shaping a new future for the village, bringing it to life through art and shared experiences.

EscolaNova is an arts centre that promotes creation, experimentation, and gathering. It is a place where local culture meets contemporary art. We promote art as a tool to strengthen the relationship between the individual and the community, combat isolation, and enhance the maritime and rural territory.
