Care-home residents' water-themed artworks go on show at Alcoutim library

An exhibition promoted by Águas do Algarve is open at the Carlos Brito Municipal Library, in the Casa dos Condes in Alcoutim, from 5 November to 18 December 2026. It gathers artworks made by older people and people with disabilities from several local social-solidarity institutions, including the Martim Longo parish centre and care homes in Alcoutim, Balurcos and Barranco do Velho. Pieces include "Memórias do Guadiana" and "Árvore da Vida". The aim is to raise awareness of water scarcity, ocean pollution and climate change in a territory vulnerable to their effects. Entry is free, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00, excluding holidays.
