LISBON.- Portugal Arte 10 EDP, a new
month-long
bi-annual art exhibition, announces its inaugural edition to debut July
16, 2010
in Lisbon and the surrounding region. Conceived by Artistic Director
Stefan
Simchowitz and President Miguel Carvalho, Portugal Arte 10 EDP
distinguishes
itself from other international art events by creating a sense of public
engagement with the greater art-world. Portugal Arte 10 EDP will feature
a large
and ambitious program of specially commissioned public sculpture
projects and
site-specific installations, alongside 8 curated group exhibitions, each
addressing themes relevant to contemporary life. It will be spread

territories, and historic interior spaces.
