Digital art, made physical.

A phygital gallery in Marvila — where the group's urban-archaeology vocabulary meets generative, blockchain and AI art. One question: can art ever be eternal?

Vhils — LAYERS · Threshold, the inaugural show · Eterno Gallery, Marvila · 2025 · Eterno Gallery

A physical object bound to a digital twin. Eterno curates, produces and shows hybrid works — canvas, copper plate, lightbox and print, each paired with its generative or on-chain counterpart. The gallery opened in Marvila in May 2025 with Vhils' Threshold; the platform grew from the Web3 project Ephemeral Ethernal, now rebranded Eterno.

Can art ever be eternal?

Eterno is the Cultural Affairs Group's phygital art gallery and platform — legal entity Ephemeral Ethernal, Lda., constituted in 2021 as a pure-Web3 NFT platform, reconceived and reopened as a two-floor physical gallery inside VIC Properties' Prata Riverside Village, Marvila, in 2025.

The programme runs rotating solo and group shows that pair a physical install with projected, generative and on-chain works — from Vhils' inaugural Threshold to Botto's first comprehensive solo in Portugal, City Edges and the current Unpermissioned Self. Alongside the exhibitions, Eterno carries phygital editions and digital drops online. Open Tuesday to Saturday, Prata Riverside Village, Marvila, Lisbon.

On the NFC circuit

Eterno programmes inside the orbit of Lisbon's NonFungible Conference (NFC Summit) — an event partnership delivered in 2025 and carried into 2026, positioning the gallery inside the global web3-art circuit.

In June 2026 that relationship produced Parallel Terrains: Vhils and Boldtron — a three-day off-site phygital show on the NFC circuit where Vhils reveals hidden layers already embedded within reality and Boldtron designs new layers before reality exists (4–6 Jun 2026) — and the opening of Unpermissioned Self: Proof of Being ran as NFC programming. Alongside it, an active byteGAN drop with the AI-painting-robot pioneer Pindar Van Arman runs on the gallery's official channels.
