Under the theme “Historic Centers,” AR-PA brings together professionals, institutions, and entities from Portugal and Spain, with a program that includes exhibitions, international talks, masterclasses, an innovation space, and live podcasts. The School of Arts will be present at the event as an exhibitor, represented by the Heritage, Conservation, and Restoration focus area of the Center for Research in Science and Technology of the Arts (CITAR), sharing years of training in Conservation and Restoration. The biennial will also host the Iberian Heritage Awards Ceremony, recognizing projects of excellence in the sector.
