Art exhibitions and institutional milestones continue across Brazil and Portugal. In Brazil, the Galeria de Arte Ipanema is marking its 61st anniversary with ‘Leontina, Milton e Alexandre — A Transmissão do Olhar’, an exhibition featuring works by Maria Leontina, Milton Dacosta, and Alexandre Dacosta that explores artistic evolution through abstraction, geometric construction, and figuration.

Additionally, Lyz Parayzo is opening a solo exhibition titled “Cosmo Parayzo” at the Paço Imperial in Rio de Janeiro. Running from September 26 to November 22, 2026, the multidisciplinary show celebrates her first decade of work, utilizing ancestral metalworking techniques to explore themes of the female and dissident body through jewelry, performance, sculpture, and kinetic installation.

In Portugal, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) in Lisbon is celebrating its 10th anniversary with two days of free admission and various activities, including opera performances and tactile visits for the visually impaired. The anniversary marks the debut of four new exhibitions: “Com o coração livre de cuidados” by Pedro Cabrita Reis, “VENUS” by Valentino Garavani, “New Age” by João Pimenta Gomes, and a retrospective of the museum’s printed publications from 2016 to 2026. Cabrita Reis’s solo exhibition includes 13 paintings inspired by El Greco’s ‘Apostolado’ and the aluminum sculpture ‘Croce’.
