According to Vila Vita, the combination of the gallery and the hotel is the result of “a strategic partnership that aims to bring contemporary art closer to a diverse audience, elevating the shopping experience at V-Life Shops with a sophisticated and inspiring cultural touch”.

The pop-up gallery debuts with curated works by international artists such as Dom Pattinson, Silvio Porzionato, Rogério Timotéo, Jürgen Lingl and Shen Ming Cun, alongside more emerging figures such as VOKA, Pedro Guimarães, Michael F. Rumsby, The Connor Brothers, Thomas Bossard, Annalú Boeretto and Mário Henrique.

Over the months, the selection of works will be renewed periodically, “providing an artistic experience that is always dynamic, with a programme that will enrich the Algarve’s cultural panorama”, explains Vila Vita.

Based in Loulé, ArtCatto is one of the Algarve’s artistic activators, known for its commitment to internationally renowned artists and for promoting excellent contemporary art.

The pop-up, which will operate inside the resort, in the Piazzetta, next to the V-Life Shops, is open, with free entry, to guests and curious visitors. The gallery will be open every day, from 10am to 2pm and from 3pm to 6:30pm, at least until the end of the year.
