On 8 August, the 2026 Sovereign Portuguese Student Art Prize opens in Estremoz, offering visitors the perfect opportunity to combine art, history, food and wine in one of the Alentejo's most beautiful historic towns.

Before the exhibition opens, families are invited to join One Table, One Drawing, a free collaborative workshop taking place from 2.00pm until 3.30pm. Inspired by the artworks on display, everyone is invited to contribute to one enormous drawing stretching the length of a table. Children, parents and grandparents can all add their own sketches, colours and ideas to a single shared artwork that gradually evolves throughout the afternoon, celebrating creativity as something to experience together rather than individually.

The exhibition opening takes place from 4.00pm until 6.30pm on Saturday 8 August, offering visitors the first opportunity to experience the exhibition, meet members of The Sovereign Art Foundation and celebrate some of Portugal's most promising young artists.

🎬 Ajude-nos a inspirar a próxima geração de jovens cineastas!

No próximo domingo, 19 de julho, a The Sovereign Art Foundation Portugal vai realizar um workshop GRATUITO de cinema para jovens dos 9 aos 14 anos, no Palácio do Grilo, em parceria com a Future Youth Media e a O QUADRO.

Teremos também a presença da nossa Coordenadora de Terapia pelas Artes Expressivas, Daniela Martins, que estará connosco durante todo o dia para ajudar a criar um ambiente seguro, acolhedor e inspirador para todos os participantes.

💛 Estamos à procura de voluntários que falem português para apoiar o workshop. Não é necessária experiência em cinema, apenas vontade de ajudar e de trabalhar com crianças e jovens.

🌟 Conhece algum jovem que pudesse beneficiar desta oportunidade? Como as vagas são limitadas, gostaríamos de dar prioridade a crianças e jovens que, de outra forma, poderão não ter acesso a oportunidades criativas como esta, ou que beneficiariam de um dia dedicado à criatividade, à confiança e à expressão pessoal.

📧 Para se voluntariar ou recomendar um jovem, envie um email para [email protected].

Juntos, podemos tornar a criatividade acessível a quem mais pode beneficiar dela.

🎬 Help us inspire the next generation of young filmmakers!

On Sunday 19 July, The Sovereign Art Foundation Portugal is hosting a FREE filmmaking workshop for young people (ages 9–14) at Palácio do Grilo, in partnership with Future Youth Media and O QUADRO.

We're also delighted that our Head of Expressive Arts Therapy, Daniela Martins, will be joining us throughout the day to help create a safe, welcoming and supportive environment.

💛 We're looking for Portuguese-speaking volunteers to support the workshop. No filmmaking experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a passion for working with young people.

🌟 Know a child who would benefit? As places are limited, we'd like to prioritise children who may not otherwise have access to creative opportunities like this, or who would benefit from a day of creativity, confidence-building and self-expression.

📧 To volunteer or recommend a young person, please email [email protected].
