Instituto Moreira Salles
Encyclopedia
The Instituto Moreira Salles is a non-profit organization founded by Walter Moreira Salles
(1912–2001) in 1990 and managed by the Moreira Salles family. Its goal is to promote the development of cultural projects mainly in five areas: photography, literature, libraries, visual arts and Brazilian music.
Part of its photographic, literary, and musical database is available through its website http://ims.com.br. It has cultural centers around Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Poços de Caldas and Belo Horizonte), and four galleries (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba e Porto Alegre).
Also known as the IMS, it is distinguished from other private cultural institutions in Brazil and abroad. One reason for that is its intervention practices; it basically focuses on initiatives that the institution already executes and provides. Another reason is the fact that it conducts short and long term projects, going away from short-sighted events as well as developing regular projects that educate and inform the public.
Another important feature of this institution is the fact that it's located in three different states in Brazil, building a network of integrated cultural centers that work in different geographical and cultural areas with a unified goal.
It often works together with the Unibanco Cinemas|Espaços Unibanco de Cinema/Unibanco Arteplex, being the biggest private conglomerate dedicated to cultural activities in Brazil.
