Associação Via Criativa - Design for the Local Development is a non-profit association for the local development, founded in 2015.

It’s range of action is the national territory, focusing the Alentejo region and the district of Mértola. It’s headquarters is located at the village of São Bartolomeu de Via Glória.

Via Criativa was born from the collective desire of contributing to revitalize the district of Mértola through its natural and cultural potential, combating human and territorial desertification.

Through creative industries and multi-thematic tourism, it aims to generate employment and local economy, by merging design and heritage with farming practices and local arts and crafts, among other synergies.

Associação Via Criativa aims to gather people and entities from different areas and ages, from different geographic areas and professional fields, but with common goals.
