A Home for Creative Exchange

There are spaces we pass through, and there are spaces that hold us. M8triarch was created as a living home for artists, thinkers, travelers, and cultural wanderers. A a place to gather, to listen, to share work, to rest, and to be in conversation with each other.

As we enter the new year, we’re opening the doors more intentionally and deepening the programming within them. Below are the ways to participate, support, and return in the coming weeks.


The Salon at M8triarch

The Salon — Softness, Sound & Gathering

Every Thursday & Friday · 7pm–12am · RSVP Required

The Salon returns as a weekly gathering centered around softness, sound, and creative exchange. Expect live art, spoken word, conversation, sensory listening, and an intimate tea room pouring throughout the night. Private room booking is also available for those looking to sink deeper into the evening.

Artist Atelier at M8triarch

Artist Atelier — Process, Presence & Exhibition

The Atelier has officially arrived. This season we welcome Ale D’ Afrique, who will be developing work inside M8triarch — culminating in an immersive exhibition to follow.

The Atelier functions as a working residency for artists developing new work in Lisbon — offering time, space, and a slower rhythm for process without performance.

Future Atelier seasons will open for application. If you’re interested in developing work inside the house:

M8triarch Minifesto — Becoming an Association

M8triarch is transitioning into a cultural association. This allows us to:

  • Support artists more directly
  • Apply for funding and partnerships

Supporting Artists at M8triarch

Supporting Artists Directly

This season, we’re introducing a new way to support artists by project, exhibition, or need — both within and beyond the space.

Artists will be able to share their work and goals, and supporters can contribute directly to specific outcomes: studio time, framing, materials, travel, production, and more.

If you’re an artist interested in this model, you can begin here:

How to Support M8triarch


Thank you to everyone who has gathered here, created here, stayed here, and shared themselves inside these walls.
