Get Arty at Arte Lisboa

There are many kinds of weird and wonderful events going on around the world these days and people that are looking for something a little more sophisticated than chocolate exhibitions and beer festivals may want to book a hotel in Lisbon in November.

The Portuguese capital hosts the Feira de Arte Contemporanea, or Arte Lisboa, between November 7th and 12th, a national cultural and social occasion that brings together 66 galleries' worth of modern art from around the world.

Along with everyday art-lovers, the event also attracts high-brow collectors, critics and industry professionals eager to get a look at upcoming talent.

One of the best places for this is the exhibition's Projects space, which is designated to host works from emerging artistic visionaries across the world.

Arte Lisboa has risen to such a level during its seven years in existence that its importance has been recognised by Portugal's ministry of culture.

The exhibition is hosted in Lisbon's Parque das Nacoes, a site incorporating some of the country's most impressive contemporary architecture, theatres, thematic gardens and Europe's largest Oceanarium.
