On all of our field trips, we celebrate our beautiful region in the only way we know how - by capturing it on paper. So while you're on vacation, why not take some time out from the usual beach, surf and sight seeing type of activities and join us for one of our art field trips by relishing in a wonderful day of feasting your creative senses and being inspired.

We offer you the chance to whisper to wild horses or join us for a walk along the rugged Ericeira coastline or simply take a stroll through the hills and woodlands of the Mafra Tapada. Whichever field trip you choose, we can guarantee a whole ecosystem of fauna and flora, breathtaking vistas and scenery, as well as plenty of laughter and funny stories. So book a date and join us for a great day out : )

FRIENDS OF THE ART CAFÉ

DOWN TO EARTH

The Art Café team is compiled of artists and creative people living in the Mafra region of Lisbon. From the beaches of Ericeira and the vineyards of Gradil, to the historical city centre of Lisbon, we celebrate the uniqueness of regional communities, appreciate artistic value and speak your creative language.

THE PERFECT CRAZY

As the quote goes - “Here’s to the crazy ones, the rebels, the misfits, the square pegs in the round holes.” At Art Café, we have just the right amount of common sense and curiosity, focus and free- thinking, intuition and imagination.

BIG THINKERS

Thinking globally as well as locally. Not only are we in touch with the fabric of regional communities, but Art Café is always looking at the bigger picture. We are part of a global network of artists, have access to cutting edge equipment and up-to-date industry innovation.

FULL OF BEANS

We’re not sure if it’s the fresh country air, the morning sun rising over fields of clover or the hearty country wine, but our team of go-getters jump out of bed each day ready to take on big challenges and put in 100% every step of the way.

INSPIRED BY ART

Art Café lives and breathes art, exhibitions and creative events. We watch the sun rise for inspiration, attend art festivals to share our interest, meet new people, folk and go on holidays to get some work done. There’s no doubt about it, we’re passionate about art and we’re proud of it.

WE KNOW OUR STUFF

Art Café is an experienced team of highly-skilled over-achievers who are committed to not just deliver on your goals, but to go beyond the limits and exceed your expectations.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“I have been on several Art destination workshops in Eurorpe and, most recently, on a visit to Portugal I discovered the Art Café. The Portugal trip was exceptional. I thoroughly enjoyed the company of all of the fellow budding artists on the trip. The hotels and day excursions were meticulously planned. Each day we discovered new and wonderful places to draw, paint and tour the area with a fun, personable and well-informed hosts. The group meals were a particular highlight. We all gathered each day for either lunch or dinner at great restaurants, where the wine and conversation flowed in equal measure. I came away inspired, with a ton of great sketches and wonderful memories, as well as many new friends.”

“This was my first time painting. It’s hard to describe how relaxing it was. The set-up is so professional, friendly, inviting, above all the people are so nice and we had so much fun. I thoroughly recommend having a go.”
