Voluntariado

4.8(67 reviews)

About

Voluntariado, on Madeira, is an artwork at R. das Mercês, São Martinho, 9000-036 Funchal, Portugal, in the São Martinho parish of the island's capital. The piece sits within Funchal's urban fabric, close to the city's main residential and hotel districts.

First-time visitors should expect to encounter the work as part of the city's public art, rather than in a gallery setting. A 4.8 out of 5 average from 67 reviews reflects strong appreciation from those who have seen it.

Funchal is the island's main city and the hub for transport across Madeira, with Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta all reachable by road. The artwork's position in São Martinho places it within easy reach of the city centre and the surrounding resort areas.

Madeira's mid-Atlantic islands are volcanic in origin and stand far from any continental mainland. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands. Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter.
