The Rio Art Museum
With an initiative from Rio City Hall in partnership with the Roberto Marinho Foundation, the Rio Art Museum began to be managed by the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI) since January this year, supporting MAR's exhibition and educational programs from a broad set of activities for the coming years. “The OEI is an international cooperation body that has had its institutional mandates in culture, education and science since its foundation in 1949.
The Rio Art Museum, for the OEI, represents an instrument for strengthening access to culture, closely related to the territory, in addition to contributing to training in the arts, having in Rio de Janeiro, through its history and expressions , the raw material for our work”, comments Raphael Callou, director and head of OEI representation in Brazil. After the start of activities in 2021, the OEI and the Odeon Institute entered into a partnership with the aim of strengthening the actions carried out at the museum, combining efforts and reinvigorating the cultural and educational impact of MAR, where Odeon now helps to co-realize the programming. The Rio Art Museum has the Instituto Cultural Vale as sponsor, Equinor, Itaú Unibanco and Globo as master sponsors, and Nadir Figueiredo.
MAR also has the support of Machado Meyer Advogados and Icatu, all via the Federal Culture Incentive Law.
Escola do Olhar is sponsored by RIOgaleão and Cultura Inglesa via the Municipal Culture Incentive Law – ISS Law. Globo and Canal Curta are MAR’s media partners.
MAR also has the support of the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro and is carried out by the Ministry of Culture and the Federal Government of Brazil through the Federal Culture Incentive Law.
