Circo de Ideias is a publishing house, bookstore and architecture gallery. Located in the Bouça district, Circo de Ideias was founded in 2008 as a non-profit cultural association, with the aim of promoting the dissemination and study of architecture. The passion for books, for publishing, for curating, for architectural publications in particular, led the two architects, owners of this space, to edit books where there is a deliberate confrontation between the text, the image and the object. Their books are thought and edited by themselves to the limit, in a curatorial work whose result is the book itself. They have already edited books based on the work of Rem Koolhaas and Siza Vieira, for example.

The AP’ARTE Gallery – Contemporary Art opened in March 2010, at Rua Miguel Bombarda, in Porto, one of the most dynamic and creative areas of the city.
It is a project that emerged from the desire to make a bet on the promotion of emerging young people, along with the presentation of renowned artists whose work represents a plastic reference in the contemporary artistic panorama, revealing the current production trends in the languages of painting, sculpture. , photography and multimedia.
