Given the impossibility of inviting national and foreign artists to Guimarães, for creative processes without barriers, we will celebrate the legacy of the last six editions of artistic residencies with several of its stakeholders and collaborators. We will have a small concert programme, adapted to the current safety conditions, which will be held in the auditoriums of the CCVF with marked seats. The PRO conferences will be broadcast through a digital platform specifically created for this purpose by AMAEI - Association of Musicians, Artists and Independent Publishers - in order to once again show Guimarães to the world. The demonstration of talent and the sharing of knowledge therefore inevitably follow in this new context, where meetings will take place in the territorial and virtual space, a combination of forms that are here to stay. Because musical creation can’t wait!
