Bacalhoeiro is a non-profit cultural organisation with about 8.000 members, mainly related to the artistic and cultural area of Lisbon. This association was created aiming to promote an alternative artistic expression place, covering a need in the cultural Portuguese tissue. Therefore, we focus our work in two main directions: developing projects inside and outside our head-quarter. On the one hand, we develop pedagogical activities in the neighbouring area and we work hand in hand with the Town Council, in order to increase the artistic knowledge of the young population through leisure activities.
Bacalhoeiro offers a daily programme of activities and dedicates every day of the week to a different artistic discipline: Tuesdays, films and cooking; Wednesdays, dancing; Thursdays, performances, Friday DJ sets, Saturday concerts, and Sunday experimental acoustic jazz. Every three weeks, there is a new plastic art exhibition.
Moreover, Bacalhoeiro offers a wide range of workshops and develops punctual projects with the involving area and with other organisations.
It receives young people through European Voluntary Service Project.
