07/27/2022 On Friday, August 5th, a new edition of Artelemos begins on Cardenal street at Monforte. The craft show organized by the City Council, as the perfect prelude to the Patron Saint Festivities, will have 23 stalls in this XXII edition. The schedule will be from 10.00 h. at 2:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. the 10:00 p.m. between August 5th and 9th.
Artelemos has the will to bring local and Galician crafts closer to the public, while offering artisans a way to present themselves and transfer their work to the public, creating a direct relationship between artisan and consumer that contributes to value handmade pieces.
The different stands will display a wide variety of craft disciplines: Gundivós pottery, leather, basketry, fashion accessories, leather goods, wood and slate, ceramics, decorative objects, jewelry, miniatures, glass crafts, toys and puppets, among other proposals. Artelemos offers an unbeatable opportunity to find unique and high-quality pieces.
The exhibition is completed with demonstrations in which to see the craftsmen work live and workshops for children. The inauguration of Artelemos will be on August 5th at 11:30 a.m. with a performance by the Municipal Group of Bagpipes of the City Council.
