Artes Lusas want to market and promote the craft Portuguese North to South including the Islands.
We stress that our art has distant origins predate the formation of Portugal as a country, which took place in 1143, and inherited influences of historical and artistic contacts with other nations such as India, Persia, China and the various tribes of the Continents Africans and Americans. Over the past few centuries also suffer the influence of various European countries as Anglo Saxon and Latin.
So Portugal in addition to inheriting the craft knowledge of ancient civilizations that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula, also meet with the civilizations that were crossed in our history influencing Crafts Portuguese with ancient production techniques and new trends and technological knowledge.
We conclude therefore that our rich cultural and Crafts is a very strong heritage of our history.
