Creative Spaces

With one of the youngest populations in Europe, Guimarães has been affirming itself as an important international centre of creative entrepreneurship. And to prove it are the spaces that emerged in recent years, like the José de Guimarães International Arts Centre, a structure dedicated to contemporary art and the its relationships with arts from other times and different cultures and disciplines. The Institute of Design of Guimarães affirms itself as a centre specialized in design in the areas of fashion, product and multimedia. It is also worth mentioning the Centre for Art and Architecture, whose mission is to support and encourage artistic creation; The role of the Living Science Centre in the promotion of scientific and technological culture and the Landscape Laboratory of Guimarães, which is particularly important in the areas of knowledge, innovation, research and scientific dissemination.
