For anyone who had already booked a spot through John, nothing will change - all agreements will be honoured. To apply for Art Expo Algarve, please go to www.artloversalgarve.com and complete the application form.

Our new Billboard on Hwy 22 near Mar Shopping is being noticed and driving traffic to the website. Don’t forget to watch for it when you’re heading west from IKEA, Faro or the Eastern Algarve.

Now available is our Gift Certificate in denominations of 25 Eu to 500 Eu which can be used towards any artwork on the Art Lovers Algarve (ALA) website.
