PLATO is a multidisciplinary platform for creation, experimentation, and production dedicated to contemporary art. Previously typography and later a fish market, now as an art gallery, we propose a diversified curatorial program with exhibitions, performances, and criticism, focusing on contemporary culture. PLATO intends to act locally and globally, bringing together national and international artists and curators, both established and emerging, in constant dialogue with various audiences.  

The project, created by curator Diogo Ramalho, started from the increasingly urgent need to decentralize the contemporary exhibition and art centers. Inserted in an urban territory in increasing transformation, PLATO introduces itself as an invitation for the confluence of different artistic practices. PLATO is sponsored by Direção-Geral das Artes.
