Promoting the internationalisation of young creators is one of the Azorean Government's goals. Therefore, their participation in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is an opportunity for the development of their projects and artistic skills.
 
After Edinburgh, the LABJOVEM Exhibition will be presented in Lisbon, where it will be open to the public at LX Factory from October 1-31.
 
The itinerary ends on Terceira Island, where the exhibition may be visited during the month of November.

It aims to encourage and promote young artists from different artistic areas, serving as a platform for a new generation of Azorean artists.
