Young Artists Painting Exhibition – Winners of the José Mendonça Prize
The art exhibition that Betar organized in partnership with the Municipality of Guarda has already opened.
After a first exhibition in Lisbon, Betar promoted a new art show with works by Laura Caetano, Guilherme Figueiredo, Ana Malta and Francisco Venâncio, which will be on display at the Guarda Museum until November 9.
The inauguration, which took place on October 24th, was hosted by Tiago Mendonça, Betar’s Managing Partner, and Sérgio Costa, Mayor of Guarda, and was attended by several friends, as well as members of the executive of the parish councils in Guarda.
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, the second art exhibition organized by Betar features 23 works produced by the artists who won the José Mendonça Prize – 1st Betar Plastic Arts Prize, who were inspired by the tranquility of the Mondego Valley to produce the paintings now on display at the Evelina Coelho Art Gallery.
