On Saturday, 14 June 2025, the Algarve’s most glamorous clifftop resort, Vila Vita Parc, invites art lovers to a special summer evening under the stars. In collaboration with ArtCatto, the prestigious contemporary gallery in Loulé, the resort presents “Art in the Parc”—a unique outdoor vernissage that transforms the hotel’s piazzetta into a cultural celebration of color, form, and creative spirit.

From 18:00, guests can stroll the scenic gardens and gather at the charming square to view an exclusive collection of paintings and sculptures by acclaimed international artists: Dom Pattinson, Silvio Porzionato, Rogério Timotéo, Jürgen Lingl, and Shen Ming Cun. Expect bold contemporary pieces, expressive figurative works, and captivating sculpture—all perfectly at home in the resort’s refined yet relaxed ambiance.
Adding to the magic of the moment, several of the artists will be present, offering rare insight into their work and the opportunity for personal connection. As the golden light of early evening fades into twilight, and a gentle Atlantic breeze rolls up from the cliffs, art, nature, and conversation will blend seamlessly in this unforgettable setting.
The evening marks the official opening of the exhibition, which will continue throughout the summer at Vila Vita Parc’s V-Life Shops. Whether you’re an avid collector or simply a lover of beauty, “Art in the Parc” is a must-see—and a beautiful way to spend a summer night in the Algarve.
