Passos Contemporary Art Biennial

The art that transforms the interior of Brazil

Passos will be the stage for a cultural revolution. The first Contemporary Art Biennial in the interior of the country is being created to promote the city nationally, boost tourism, and recognize local and global artists, breaking paradigms that keep major events restricted to capital cities.

This is the beginning of a legacy that will place Passos on the Visual Arts circuit, stimulating new markets for galleries, collectors and professionals in the sector.

WHY DOES THE BIENNIAL EXIST?

Our purpose is to transform the public's relationship with art, awakening their perspectives and feelings to see it not just as a hobby, but as a career profession, financial investment and educational tool.

The Passos Biennial is an invitation for the entire community to experience art as an expression of freedom, colors and forms.

WHAT WILL YOU FIND?

Exhibitions that break boundaries

Painting, sculpture, ceramics, weaving, photography, installations, and multimedia works. All curated with technical rigor to ensure originality, innovation, sustainability, and global dialogue.

Music that speaks to the visual

Artistic presentations that translate sound into image, bringing the audience's senses even closer.

Workshops

Hands-on activities and professional art classes creat opportunities for Brazilian Artists to monetize their talents and Visitors to explore and learn art techniques.

Provocative lectures

From "Art as an investment and profession" to "How to immigrate to Canada", expanding personal and professional horizons.

Art contest

Local residents will be able to transform their homes into veritable open-air galleries, creating "islands of art" throughout the city.

WHY PASSOS?

We chose to begin in Passos to prove that major cultural gatherings don’t depend only on Rio-Sao Paolo axis. We want to showcase the potential of the interior, consolidate a pioneering event, and inspire other cities to do the same.

We are developing the ideal space that will offer the infrastructure to concentrate all activities in one location, ensuring an innovative visual experience, reduced costs, and safety for construction sites and visitors.
