Y3S presents a vision for artist-and-maker gathering spaces in Portugal and Mindelo, Cabo Verde.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.

For: Artists, makers, and their local communities
Worth noticing: The four listed doors span Costa da Caparica, Cacilhas, and Mindelo; Mindelo II is marked “coming soon.”

Field notes

The page grounds its idea in Ray Oldenburg’s 1989 book and paraphrases characteristics such as neutral ground, easy company, and welcoming regulars. Its space list names Beach Surf Flat, Studio Cacilhas, and Flat Fanon, while Mindelo II is still forthcoming. The program is described as being built around formats including residencies, with dates to come through a newsletter.
