Associação Largo dos Artistas – ALA – was founded in 2022 as a non-profit socio-cultural association based at the Antero de Quental Secondary School. Although it is made up of students, teachers, parents, guardians and former students of the Antero de Quental Secondary School, the association has its own autonomous dynamic, aimed above all at culturally activating the kiosk and the square it is part of, Largo Mártires da Pátria. The association has hosted projects in co-creation with various cultural agents, linking the school community, regular visitors to the space and the rest of the population. It works hand in hand with pupils from mainstream education, special education and associations in the “occupation” and artistic modeling of the space surrounding the kiosk. It has held exhibitions and hosted initiatives by young creators, providing a link between the school community and the surrounding area. It promotes and supports informal learning experiences in various socially integrative artistic areas.
