Walking side by side, the footwear industry has celebrated the arts and the national culture for 12 years. In 2022, APICCAPS pays homage to the works and main artists of the Portuguese painting scene that symbolize what distinguishes us as a country, civilization and collective personality. It is what makes us unique in a world ever more open, diverse and globalized.

If in 2021, amid the global pandemic, the Portuguese shoes made a eulogy for the poetry of the bodies of models and dancers, as a token of strength and gracefulness, resilience and liberty, wondering "can the industry be an art form?”, this year, carrying on the mission, APICCAPS reinforces the premise that the industry can be an ally of artists, creating singular moments and objects of desire.
