September 19–21, 2025
Circuitos’25 is the second edition of an initiative that aims to highlight the people, spaces and projects that shape the cultural fabric of Porto. Held from 19 to 21 September 2025, this city-wide programme invites the public to engage more closely with the vitality and diversity of contemporary artistic production in Porto.
More than 55 venues—including museums, artist-run spaces, project rooms, independent studios and commercial galleries—open their doors for three days of shared experience and artistic exchange. The programme includes a wide range of events across the city, featuring exhibition openings, performances, concerts, talks and informal gatherings.
While rooted in the local scene, Circuitos’25 draws attention to broader conversations on artistic practice, visibility and access. It provides a collective moment for reflection, celebration and encounter—not only among artists and cultural workers, but between institutions and independent initiatives, established audiences and new publics.
Promoted by the Contemporary Art Department of Ágora – Cultura e Desporto do Porto, E.M., this edition consolidates the event as a key platform for mapping and connecting the city’s contemporary art ecosystem.
