DE LICEIRAS 18 is an experimental, independent, artist-run space located in an old residential house in the historical center of Porto, Portugal. Every month we host a group of international artists forming an ever-changing, dynamic temporary art community. It is run by the non-profit cultural association Eklipsefémero - Núcleo Artístico Independente.

De Liceiras 18 is a monthly-based project, open for visual artists, designers, conceptual gardeners, experimental writers, sound hunters, improvisatory singers, performers, philosophers and (...) who would like to create in an old wood house in the centre of Porto. They welcome the creatives who are enthusiastic about spending one (or more) months within an exchange-based micro-art-community - learning, teaching, discussing and breaking any preconceptions; who are not afraid to erase barriers between private and public, to live and create in the same space; who are able to take inspiration from both possibilities and impossibilities, obstacles and miracles brought about by creating in such an informal, experimental, no-budget and anti-white-box space.

Every month, DL18 hosts between 4 and 7 artists with diverse backgrounds, forming an ever-changing, dynamic temporary art community in the city of Porto.
