Exhibit your photos in an original venue in Estação in February or March 2022! Open theme.
This is an open call for photographers, who would like to participate in the physical exhibition of their works in Estação, a very special and artistically unique venue in Canelas, Portugal (15 min drive from Porto).

About Estação
Estação is a cultural project resulting from a partnership between the Council of Canelas, Town hall of Estarreja, and the artist Mário Afonso (who published his works in BAV’s Street Photography 2021 book), with the assistance of artist Rita Castanheira.
Estação is being explored in order to disseminate the work of national and international artists from various artistic areas, such as photography, painting, video art, music and others. Exhibitions are held every two months, offering audience free access to a wide range of cultural initiatives.
Originally, the building where Estação is situated was designed for the purpose of serving as a train station. Although it currently presents itself as a gallery, it has always maintained its original identity. This has been a point of interest for artists when conceiving site-specific projects to be exhibited in the space.
Estação is also right next to the BioRia, the Natural Heritage of Estarreja, which has led to the organization of multiple tours to the local natural attractions. This is due to our interest in environmental issues and goal to inspire young and older audiences by experiencing the beauty of the surrounding nature.
