«Luis Melo had a very beautiful dream. He bought this land here, this rural area, to assemble a whole structure to absorb all possible artistic modalities so that art is spread to the community».
The Campos das Artes is indeed very involved with the inhabitants of the region:
«This is above all a space that belongs to the community, that belongs to the people who want to use it, the people who will take care of it, the people who will help us to take this project forward,» explains Marco Antonio Garbellini, coordinator of the space.
The huge art center is oriented on three main axes: theatre, gastronomy, and design, but is open to visual arts, architecture, and fashion creation as well in order to spread a wider understanding of culture and contemporary arts to the local public.
«The Campo das Artes has an important role, not only artistic but also, socially, politically, in a strategic place for people to think and discuss a better world through art,» concludes Luis Melo, founder, and director of the Campo das Artes.
