The Serralves Foundation will once again bring light to night this summer season. The project "Há luz no Parque" ["There is light in the Park"] for this year, invites to night-time trips as of 13th July until 9th September. This year's programme includes the special participation of artist João Paulo Feliciano.

"This artistic collaboration has different dimensions: on one side, the artist's creative work is set up at Serralves Park, namely installations of light; on the other side, his intermediation also extends to the lighting of the House and taking part in the Park's lighting design", as stated by Serralves.

One of the most versatile artists of the Portuguese artistic scene, João Paulo Feliciano "often explores the theme of light and correlate technologies and phenomena".

Visitors to Serralves will be able to enjoy a set of works, produced by the artist since 1990 till present time, scattered through the Park, and inside the House of Serralves, but also visible from the outside".

Serralves offers the opportunity to tour the Park at will, and provides guided tours as well. Other activities are also available such as night photography workshops and biodiversity nocturnal exploring sessions.

Tickets cost five euros (50% student discount and over 65 years of age). Entrance is free for "Amigos de Serralves".
