For the first time, art becomes the central pillar of NFC Summit 2026, in its most ambitious edition yet.

Across Unicorn Factory Lisboa, a former industrial flour mill, digital art takes over an outdoor plaza, four floors of the historic Fábrica de Moagem, murals, and dedicated spaces exploring generative, immersive, AI-driven, interactive, onchain, and physical works.

As curatorial partner of the art program, 100 collectors helped shape the exhibition flow and collector experience across the venue. We help you make the most of your time in Lisbon with highlights of the NFC art programme and featured contemporary art shows in the city.

TUE to FRI 2PM to 7PM / SAT 11AM to 4PM

Until September 12th, 2026
Nuno Sousa Vieira’s practice grows from his studio environment and explores form, space, and layering alongside broader reflections on art history and contemporary culture. In Desisto – o que não vejo imagino, he connects early abstraction with today’s image-saturated reality shaped by AI and misinformation, framing abstraction as a critical and political response. The exhibition positions refusal as an act of resistance, reaffirming painting as a space where imagination operates beyond what is visible.

At Galeria 111, Adriana Molder presents RAIOS, a series of large-scale drawings and suspended sculptural canvases that move between drawing and volume.

Movart | R. de Santo António à Estrela 74, 1350-184 Lisboa

TUE to FRI 2PM to 6PM

Until July 17th, 2026
Alain Richard’s photographs treat the image as a threshold, where light and framing keep perception suspended rather than fixed.
Kwame Sousa’s works bring a strong bodily presence shaped by lived experience in São Tomé and Príncipe, where visibility is tied to social and historical exposure.
Together, they explore how images hold meaning through tension, between structure, presence, and instability.
