Paço das Artes

Paço das Artes, Art gallery in Butantã, São Paulo, Brazil.

Paço das Artes occupies the Casarão Nhonhô Magalhães, a 1927 mansion in Higienópolis inspired by French palatial architecture, renovated by architect Álvaro Razuk as a contemporary art venue. Its rooms host exhibitions, video screenings, lectures and workshops across visual arts, design and multimedia.

Paço das Artes was created on 25 March 1970 by decree 52.423, after operating since November 1969 in the Secretariat of Culture hall on Avenida Paulista. It moved to the Pinacoteca building in 1973, shared the Avenida Europa building with the Museu da Imagem e do Som from 1975 to 1994, and occupied a Jorge Wilheim-designed modernist building in Cidade Universitária from 1994 to 2016. Its permanent seat is the 1927 Nhonhô Magalhães mansion in Higienópolis, renovated by architect Álvaro Razuk.

The name Paço das Artes echoes the 1927 Nhonhô Magalhães mansion, built for one of São Paulo's largest coffee planters and remodeled by architect Álvaro Razuk. Since 1996 the Temporada de Projetos has selected young artists, curators and critics; the MaPA platform, launched in 2014, maps more than 250 artists, 15 curatorial projects, about 80 critics and 45 jurors who passed through it.

The Paço das Artes occupies the old Nhonhô Magalhães mansion in Higienópolis, at Rua Alagoas, 903, renovated by architect Álvaro Razuk. The building is a listed 1927 mansion, so rooms follow the former residence's layout rather than a purpose-built gallery plan. It sits in a residential neighbourhood of the city centre, reachable by metro and bus lines serving Higienópolis.

The 2014 digital platform MaPA maps the Temporada de Projetos, created in 1996 with its first show in 1997: a timeline lists over 250 artists, 15 curatorial projects, about 80 art critics and 45 jurors who passed through the programme.
