A word from our spokesperson

Dream, grow, inspire

LEPORELLO is a venue dedicated to the art of illustration: an artist residency, creative workshop, and exhibition space, offering classes and cultural outreach activities. It features a residency program that supports the work of illustration artists, creative activities for children and their families, and a range of training and courses open to all. Its specialty shop completes the experience and encourages public interaction.
