On May 18th, the exhibition “Tinha uma Pedra” (“I had a Stone”), by Miguel Horta, was inaugurated at the Casa da Cultura Jaime Lobo e Silva, in Ericeira.

This exhibition brings together a collection of recent drawings (2022/2024) by the artist, where the stone appears as a central element for research and the proposal of different interpretive meanings, in a contemporary language accessible to all audiences.

It is a traveling initiative that began in Loulé, at the Convent of Santo António. It then moved to Pombal (the Teatro-Cine Gallery published a complete catalog, in addition to an intensive workshop on drawing with the community), continued to the Municipal Library of Torres Vedras (with a drawing workshop), passed through the Solar dos Zagallos (Sobreda/Almada), and is now concluding at Casa da Cultura Jaime Lobo e Silva. This exhibition, by an artist residing in Ericeira, presents an extensive collection of new pieces added to the central core of the show, where we can feel the energy of our coastline.

In the program of this exhibition, which will end on June 19th, there is also a series of drawing workshops dedicated to students from the schools of Ericeira and Carvoeira.
