The Évora 2027 Association announces the open call “O Nosso Laboratório / Our Lab”, designed to enrich the artistic and cultural programme of Évora_27 – European Capital of Culture, by promoting cultural diversity through the participation of international creators. With a total budget of €2.000.000, up to 38 projects will be selected.

In 2027, Evora, Portugal, will be the European Capital of Culture together with the Latvian city Liepaja. To strengthen its cultural program, the Evora '27 association has launched two open calls.
