Allarts Gallery – Lisbon International Gallery of Naïf and Figurative Art - was established in May 2009 and its main goals are: to encourage, enhance and promote the knowledge of Naïf and Figurative Art in Portugal and to show that genuine spontaneous artistic creation is a unique and commanding vision of the world and can generate cultural value to the countries and to their regional micro cultures.
In a prime location area of Lisbon (Chiado), the Gallery offers a space to permanent exhibition of Naïf works in all art expressions. There, visitors can admire Naïf Artists, free and creative minds, recognize the quality of their works, support and encourage them to go on, sharing with us, through their art, the timeless vision of everyday life and the joy of their dreams. Allarts Gallery also hopes to facilitate the entry into this field of talented self-taught artists, from all ages, origins, technical and thematic expressions.
The interest in Naïf Art is increasing around the world and also in Lisbon, an internationally recognized cosmopolitan European City, which cannot ignore this art trend. The growing demand for Naïf Art by interactive travellers and cultural diversified cities, tourists requires Lisbon to have a specialized Naïf and Figurative Gallery, not only because it can be a business opportunity, but also because it generates an additional attractive factor to the community.
