Contemporary expressions of plastic arts, exhibitions, classical music concerts, a master class in piano and workshops on cartoos and sculpture, are more than suficient reason for a cultural visit to a rural setting.

"Ruralities" appels to a concept that looks upon art as work constantly changes and evolves in an ongoing experimentalism, taking comtemporary art back to its roots in "The Rural Setting". Alcalar is a historical site whose archaeological finds bear witness to forms of artistic expression; the contemporary, multi-faceted artists participating in the event use a variety of expressive forms encompassing free styles, from the figurative to the abstract, painting, sculpture and etching, and share a common love of creativity, divulging and educating for the arts, thus bringing greater weight to the "ruralities" experience.

With the participation of: Arlindo Arez, Franco Charais, Stela Barreto, Vila, Fernando D'F. Pereira, Martins Leal, Maureen Lucía Booth, Vesna Pantelic, Joana Florêncio, Fernando Veloso, Paulo Quaresma and Ana Bernardino.
