Epicenter

It is from Braga and fundamentally for Braga that we develop our activity in order to shake its cultural agenda and awaken the young artistic movement of this city.

With a nonconformist attitude, we always try to innovate, in order to promote and enhance the city and its emerging talents.

Therefore, we seek the best references in different areas, making them available to Braga society to absorb all their knowledge and can take advantage of it.
