Algarve Arts Club

An open room in the old centre of Albufeira. A long table. The walls change every week.

Come in. Sit anywhere. There's clay, watercolour, ink, charcoal, paper. There are no classes. There are people making things with their hands, side by side, for an hour or three. Some pieces go home. Some stay on the wall. Every first piece stays forever.

Three things to know

The room is open. Sit anywhere.

Buy a day pass or hold a membership. No bookings, no classes, no fixed schedule. Come when you can.

The first piece stays on the wall.

Every new visitor makes a small piece — palm-sized — that joins the First Piece Wall. In five years it will be thousands.

The phones live in the box at the door.

Numbered wooden cubbies, right as you walk in. Lock yours up and the coffee's on us. If you need it, the bench is one step away.

Inside the room

Long oak table with people working with their hands

The long table

It runs down the centre of the room. Twelve seats. Oak, made by an Albufeira carpenter. Sit next to whoever you like, or whoever's free.

The walls change every week

Everything hanging here was made here. If you want to sell, we write your first name, the price, and a sentence if you want one. 25% commission. The rest is yours.
