Fábrica de Arte Marcos Amaro, Arts centre in Itu, Brazil

Fábrica de Arte Marcos Amaro occupies the former São Pedro textile factory in central Itu, with 25,000 square metres of built area. Its galleries focus on three-dimensional contemporary art, and since 2022 the Galpão do Urubu has held José Spaniol's installation "Tiamm Schuoomm Cash!".

The FAMA Museu occupies the former São Pedro Factory, a textile plant that was an important industrial hub in Itu in the early 20th century. The museum opened in 2018 in the 25,000 square metres of built area, after the site had been used for textile production. The collection began with a work by Cândido Portinari and grew over about ten years.

The museum's name comes from its founder, artist and collector Marcos Amaro, and from the Fábrica São Pedro that houses it. Its collection began with a work by Cândido Portinari and grew to about 2,000 pieces, including 203 drawings by Tarsila do Amaral shown in the 2020 exhibition "Tarsila: estudos e anotações". In 2019 the museum brought Arthur Bispo do Rosário's "Manto da Apresentação" to Itu for the first time.

The centre is located about two hours from São Paulo and offers free educational programs along with guided tours. The grounds are accessible throughout the year with rotating exhibitions on display.

The museum's first acquisition was a work by Cândido Portinari, the start of a collection now holding around 2,000 pieces. It later gained 203 rare drawings by Tarsila do Amaral, shown in the 2020 exhibition "Tarsila: estudos e anotações", curated by Aracy Amaral and Regina Teixeira de Barros.
