Algarve news and information portal - AlgarveMais

If you love art and are looking to combine your passion with a holiday in the sun, then Art In The Algarve is a perfect choice. We have excellent art teachers waiting to share their knowledge with you. We run art courses covering a variety of mediums from watercolours, oils, still life and general art on a weekly basis. If you are just looking to come away and paint but not after the tuition then we also offer the studio and the accommodation for artists.

Art in the Algarve is a specialist art holiday provider set up in 2008 by a father and daughter. Having moved to Portugal in 2004 David fell in love with the quaint and charming town of Olhao. An artist's paradise with historical buildings dating back to 1800 this beautiful little town is one of the Algarve's last remaining working towns.

The history of Olhao is connected to the local fishing industry dating back to the 17th century when the town grew into existence, and to this day you will see fishermen delivering fresh fish on a daily basis to the famous market.

Art In The Algarve believes in offering artists a chance to sample a true look into the Portuguese way of life whilst combining their love of painting in this beautiful, enchanting, historic town.
