BNDES Space
Inaugurated in 1985, the "Espaço BNDES" [BNDES Space] is already part of the cultural scene in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It offers free culture and entertainment to the population through the promotion of exhibits and concerts in its Art Gallery and
Auditorium.
Gallery
From March to December, the "Espaço BNDES" presents exhibits in its
gallery.
Obs.: At the moment, the space is closed due to an
upcoming reform.
Thursdays at the BNDES
Weekly, from March to November, every Thursday, from 7pm to 8pm, popular, instrumental and erudite music and scenic art displays are presented, including circus, dance and/or theater acts that adapt to the one hour period of the presentation and the stage
dimensions.
The tickets, with marked seats, are distributed in the day of the event, in the ground floor, starting at 6 pm.
Film
The BNDES supports the domestic film industry through the Audiovisual Law (Law no. 8,685, of July 20, 1993).
As it acts in the promotion of development in Brazil, the BNDES also concerns itself with its cultural nature. For the BNDES, investing in culture is fundamental for the development concept as a whole because art and culture leverage social advancement and contribute towards the preservation and valuing of the national identity.

Architectural Heritage
Considering the artistic and cultural relevance of the national historic and architectural heritage, the indispensable maintenance towards the preservation of declared monuments and the extreme need to support their conservation, the BNDES, sensible to this reality and with the intention of avoiding irreparable damage to the integrity of these monuments, decide to offer financial assistance, in the ambit of the National Program for the Support of Culture - PRONAC, signing the BNDES/Ministry of Culture/"Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional" [National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute] - IPHAN, agreement on November 7, 1996.
This activity, held in the ambit of Law no. 8313/91(Rouanet), takes place through financial collaboration, in the form of sponsorships, exclusively for restoration and conservation projects of the historic architectural heritage that is declared by the Union.
