- Details: In August 2013 we were also at Cale Festival, a two day festival of street art held at Rua da Cale, in historic city centre of Fundão. For this first event of Street Art taking place here we invited PANTÓNIO that freely chose three spaces for three murals under the watchful eyes of visitors and residents , stirring interest in this Art and for Contemporary Art and Culture, an underlying goal specially in these inland regions with limited access to cultural events/ activities.
