Miguel Bombarda Arts Quarter features a new cycle of art exhibits, on 9 March, starting at 4 pm, with galleries showcasing new exhibitions and offering indoor and outdoor art and liveliness.

The programme of events for March highlights two workshops, one flash mob (dance), a DJ set performance and a concert that will enliven visitors and passers-by between 4pm and 8pm. Entrance, as usual, is free.

The municipal company, PortoLazer organises two free tours to the art galleries in the context of the Bombarda Stop & Go programme, promoted in partnership with the Higher School of Education. There are two available schedules (4pm-5pm; 5.30pm-6.30pm), and each group (15 people each) depart from Rua de Miguel Bombarda (pedestrian area, next to the "Porto." stand).

Registrations are open till 1 pm, on 8 March, via email stopandgo@portolazer.pt or at the "Porto." stand on the very day of the tour (this option is only available for the second tour).

In Bombarda quarter, there is the opportunity to participate in the training and recreational workshop "Existential Overlocking", in the context of the Coração o Ditador Project, by Rocio Janeiro. The audience will take part in the collective task of assembling several tiles that will be displayed in the next month of May.

Concurrently, the duo "Gazete Azulejos" features a workshop of tile painting. The number of applications is limited, so registration is required via email gazeteazulejos@gmail.com.

It is worth highlighting the dance Flash mob, promoted by Hop Dance Studio, in the pedestrian area between Cedofeita Street and Bombarda Quarter; so, if if you think you can dance, join the mob between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
