The XXVII edition of the Festival Express’Arte – Meeting of Artistic Expressions started on 13 May. The initiative is promoted by APPACDM of Setúbal, with the support of the Municipality of Setúbal.

The start of the festival was marked by the show ‘Mostra da Casa’, presented at the Luísa Todi Municipal Forum, which brought together around 120 participants. The presentation reflected a collective path of artistic creation developed over several months, based on respect for individual rhythms and group work, translated into different languages and artistic manifestations.

The session was attended by institutional representatives of the Municipality of Setúbal, as well as the President of the Institute for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Sónia Esperto.

The project is co-financed by the Institute for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
