others to be defined...
Note: Contact us and tell us about your interest in participating and/or developing an activity.
As defined in the Space Rental and Use Regulation, every 4th weekend of the month, the Space closes at 3 PM on Friday and reopens at 3 PM the following Tuesday. The Regular Weekly Activities will not be affected by this.
The reason for this pause has to do with our philosophy of practising a balance between action and pause, which is so relevant and pertinent nowadays, given that in today's society we live under the illusion of permanent activity and constant rush, which results in the depletion of both personal and collective resources. We are, however, going to dispense with this principle for now, as our space isn't open every day of the week, thus creating the desired balance. We'll implement this practice when it becomes appropriate.
Monthly Activities - October 2024:
Imagine a place that inspires you to create without limits. Where every creation, whether physical or not, is a unique expression of soul and talent.
This is the T'Inspirar Creative Market.
Here, artists in the broadest sense of the word are the real protagonists, giving colour, life and movement to this project where Culture, Tourism, Wellbeing and Heritage also have a place.
This is what this vibrant market has to offer.
There's something for all tastes and styles.
Discover and share

painting, sculpture and other fine arts,

photography and design,

writing, reciting stories and poems,

singing, dancing and music, theatre and...

cinema,

fashion design, graphic design, interior design, architectural design and so much more that makes your heart beat with the joy of creating.
Your only limit is your imagination!
Join us to organise (or take part in) your own workshops, talks and masterclasses in a wide variety of areas, where everyone can expand their creative horizons with you and the other artists, in a welcoming and inspiring environment. You can also facilitate and take part in one-off workshops and regular classes in Health and Wellbeing activities.
Activities will be organised for all ages, including families. The target audience for each activity will be defined by the facilitators themselves.
It is also our common goal to encourage Sustainable Tourism. Discover and publicise the charms of our region through:
* Eco-friendly tourist routes,
* Natural Beauty
* Responsible Practices
* Trails
* Visits to local communities
* Visits to Environmental Preservation Projects
* Showcases of local products
And if you're a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago, we have a special place for you too! Come and share what you've discovered along the way and find out what we have in store to welcome you to Tomar. You can visit us whenever the space is open and from 6pm to 7pm we have the Pilgrim's Happy Hour where we invite you to mingle with other Pilgrims and leave a record of your memories and experiences.
For new residents in Tomar, we've set up monthly Meet Ups, on the same Sunday as the T'Inspirar Arts and Design Creative Market from 5pm to 7pm, and everyone is invited - whether you're Portuguese or any other nationality. Once again, the aim is to generate intercultural interaction, share arts and crafts, culture, heritage and experiences and create community. By new residents we mean all those who are not local or who have been away from Tomar for years and have returned. If you've lived in the area for less than 5 years, or if you'd like to create bonds with new residents from our municipality and neighbouring municipalities (Ribatejo Norte), come along and join us!
Come and be part of this movement and let yourself be inspired by the magic of art, culture, heritage and well-being while discovering more sustainable and conscious tourism.
The Creative Market itself will have two alternating themes: Arts and Design or Local Production, taking place on different Sundays throughout each month. The calendar will always be available on our website.
This T'Inspirar Creative Market project is organised in partnership with ADIRN (Association for the Integrated Development of Ribatejo Norte), Fábrica das Artes (Tomar Municipality), RuaPapel (Laura Quiroga), Co-Study (Inês Caetano) and Crocodilo Amarelo (Lucy Jackson).
This project is part of the Fábrica das Artes project, developed by the Cultural section of Tomar's Municipality and the headquarters of the T'Inspirar Integral Cooperative is Nucleus 2 of the Fábrica das Artes, which is divided into several nuclei across the Municipality.
