Funchal Old Town Painted Doors on Rua de Santa Maria Zona Historica do Funchal_Portas com Arte_Doors with Art in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
"A project to open the doors of Funchal for the Art and Culture. These are not "virtual doors" but old and forgotten entrances to houses, shops and spaces that most of them are abandoned and decayed. The aim is to give new life to them and raise awareness towards art and culture." "The project was proposed to the city hall, but remained "on hold" until the opening of the "Tasca Literaria Dona Joana Rabo de Peixe" of Joao Carlos Abreu, former Secretary of Tourism, who was interested in the project, gave his support and with his help we started on Rua Santa Maria acting as liaison with the municipality to carry it out this artistic movement. The chamber of Funchal, after that, approves and supports "art of the open doors" providing inks for the work of the artists. Thus began the task of "bringing new life" to the gates of this historic part of Funchal."
