Since its opening in November 2017, Lehmann + Silva gallery has been committed to promoting contemporary Portuguese artists in the international art scene, as well as representing and exhibiting international artists in Portugal and abroad. The gallery is distinguished by the deep relationships it develops with artists and community, representing and exhibiting from emerging to mid-career and established.

Located in the old neighbourhood of Bonfim in Porto. Lehmann + Silva is only 200 meters away from the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto (Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto). The gallery is surrounded by students, artists’ studios and a friendly artistic environment. Divided by two floors, the gallery has the main exhibition area and a project space. Portuguese and international curators are often invited to conduct research and develop special projects for the gallery space.

The gallery's project room aims to bring artistic exchange, experimentation and discussion to the forefront. Young artists and curators receive an opportunity to showcase projects in a professional gallery environment. The purpose of this initiative is to support artists and curators to generate a theoretical discussion to take place within the gallery.
