Hi everyone, thank you for sharing the information about the exhibition. We're always happy when we see articles about us here.
I would like to request just two minor changes:
1) The exhibition takes place every Monday, not every second weekend of the month.
2) Dudah Lopes is not a musician, but a female musician.
I would appreciate it if you could make the change, and once again, thank you for the space on your website!
Best Regards,
Luisa Lopes
