Bücherstube is a bookstore primarily dedicated to the dissemination of the German language and culture. A German family started Bücherstube about 25 years ago as a response to the difficulty of obtaining school books for the German School. When this family returned to Germany, two sisters, former students of the German School, acquired the estate and set up the Bücherstube company in its current location. Since then they have been developing their business in various fields, German books, stationery and other products and services, as well as school books for Portuguese schools. In 2016 they opened a similar space in Lisbon, near the German School.

OpenBox’s fundamental objective is to develop activities focused on integrated personal development. Art therapy is a central pillar of activities designed with a broad audience in mind, from children to the elderly, with intervention also targeting the needy. It aims to create synergies between like-minded entities in order to develop complete, comprehensive and in-depth programs that contribute to the personal growth and enrichment of all participants, regardless of age, race, religion, social background, gender or sexual orientation. Our activities include painting, photography, design, theater, video and creative writing, among others.

Placed in a building from the XIX century, since 2004, in the heart of downtown, Galeria Atelier Geraldes da Silva offers the community a space to sell and support the promotion of art, culture and intervention. Develops its activity with the collaboration of a network with other entities, training with an occupational perspective, organizing events and non-profit presentations. It also gives voice and excels in promoting well-known artists or those in the early stages of their careers.
It has already featured numerous individual and collective exhibitions, photography competitions, artistic residencies, performances, installations and occupational workshops, just to mention a few of all the initiatives.
