Foco Gallery is a nucleus and context for artistic and interdisciplinary engagement. Founded by French architect Benjamin Gonthier, Foco Gallery promotes International and Portuguese artists working across media. Generating exhibitions, performances, and discourses, Foco Gallery remains contemporary.

Set in a former car dealership on the ground floor of a residential building designed by Alberto Pessoa (a renowned architect known for the Gulbenkian Foundation project), the gallery covers 300 m2 across two floors, connected by a former car lift, now repurposed to host its exhibition programs.

Foco stands out for its commitment to promoting emerging artists, whether Portuguese or international, offering them a platform dedicated to innovative and experimental expressions. The exhibitions, which span a wide range of disciplines , painting, photography, sculpture, and installations, are carefully designed to foster deep and stimulating dialogue between artists, collectors, and the public.

In addition to its exhibition programming, the gallery is also dedicated to performance art through the Novo festival, which takes place every summer. This must-attend event brings together performances, exhibitions, and debates, contributing to the artistic and cultural dynamism of Lisbon.

With growing international ambitions, Foco now participates in leading art fairs such as Arco Madrid, Arco Lisbon, Art Brussels, Sp-Arte and Artissima in Turin, thus affirming its place on the global contemporary art scene.
