Mission and Objectives

ARTE.M is a cultural and artistic association located on the island of Madeira, Portugal. We are devoted to the promotion of culture, cultural education, artistic expression and search. Our mission is creating the conditions for the harmonious development of personality, well-being, self-expression, lifelong learning and continuous improvement. ARTE.M aims to elevate the social culture of Madeira through thought-provoking art experiences that stimulate intellectual exploration, curiosity, and independent thought. Among such experiences are workshops and lectures by local and international artists, open discussions and social projects. As a group of enthusiasts, we’ve been working on artistic and educational projects since 2015, and the non-profit association under the name ARTE.M was formed in 2018. We cooperate with various cultural institutions and governmental initiatives in Madeira, and our greatest supporter is Art Gallery Caravel where we are based in Funchal.
Starting from the beginning of 2023, we have opened the International ARThub Madeira - a co-work place for artists and creative people of Madeira. This is a platform for discussions, workshops, collaborations, trainings and art exhibitions.

Main Projects / Activities

ARTE.M thrives as a dynamic platform in Madeira, kindling artistic expression and education. Hosting international art residents and collaborating with volunteers, we weave a rich cultural tapestry on the island.
Additionally, we work with the Innovation Madeira Street Arts Festival, whose major goal is to use live sculpture theater to create performances and engage the Madeira public. Additionally, we collaborate in the development of urban art initiatives with the municipality of Funchal, Madeira Island capital. ince October 2023, we have established a partnership and become one of the stakeholders of the Whale Heritage Area. This area is a component of the broader animal Heritage Areas program, which was co-founded by the WCA (World Cetacean Alliance) and World Animal Protection.
The initiative aims to identify and acknowledge exceptional tourism locations that prioritize animal conservation and promote sustainable practices. Since 2023, in addition to our own programs, we have collaborated with two of Madeira's most prestigious art festivals. An annual international event called Madeira Art Festival brings together local and foreign musicians, singers and artists for a week. Additionally, we work with the Innovation Madeira Street Arts Festival, whose major goal is to use live sculpture theater to create performances and engage the Madeira public. Additionally, we collaborate in the development of urban art initiatives with the municipality of Funchal, Madeira Island capital.
