Felícia Leirner Museum and Claudio Santoro Audito

Felícia Leirner Museum and Claudio Santoro Auditorium
Campos do Jordão (SP)
Felícia Leirner Museum and Claudio Santoro Auditorium,
institutions from the Secretariat of Culture from the State of São
Paulo, are located on a 35-thousand-square-metres area, in
Campos do Jordão (SP). Currently, the institutions work by
highlighting three elements: Visual Arts, Music and Environment.
The Museum, inaugurated in 1978 and officialised in 2010 in an
exuberant-landscape area, with a mild climate and fresh air,
gathers 85 sculptures by the artist, of bronze, white cement and
granite. The artworks show the artist’s passion for the nature and
portray the set of her work that can be divided into five phases:
Figurative (1950 to 1958), Heading Towards the Abstraction (1958
to 1961), Abstract (1963 to 1965), Organic (1966 to 1970) and
Landscape Cutouts (1980 to 1982). In 1987, the museum was
considered one of the most important on this genre in the world, by
the Sculpture Magazine, from the International Sculpture Center,
from Washington D.C. (USA).
The Auditorium, inaugurated in 1979, is able to have an
audience of 814 people and has accessibility equipment such as
ramps, lifts for disabled people and adapted toilets. The stage has
an orchestra pit, and in the offstage area, big dressing rooms,
rehearsal rooms and a technical area. In the entrance hall, there is
a lounge bar and a café. This is also the house of the greatest and
most important event of classical music in Latin America, the Winter
International Festival of Campos do Jordão.
The area, where Felicia Leirner Museum and Claudio Santoro
Auditorium are located, is an important Atlântica Forest remnant. A
study done in 2011 concluded that the place presents a rich
biological diversity, which includes species of animals threatened
with extinction. By having this survey as a base, the institutions can
now target their environmental actions, strengthening themselves
as partners of conservation unities and as references for the
environmental communication about the region, integrating
themselves to the mosaic of protected forests, protection of
biodiversity management and recovery of degraded areas.
Both institutions offer an exclusive space for welcoming and
receiving visitors as well as a free car park, also able to receive
disabled people. Among the projects for the community, there are
the “Chorinho at the Museum Series”, the “Appointment with the
Art”, the “Claudio Santoro Series” and the “Orchestra at the
Museum Series”, among others.
Since 2010, the management is done by ACAM Portinari,
(Cultural Association for the support of the Casa de Portinari
Museum), Social Organization of Culture, in a partnership with the
State Government. Apart from the institutions in Campos do Jordão,
ACAM also manages two museological units more from the interior
of the state, in a partnership with the Secretariat of Culture from
the State of São Paulo: Casa de Portinari Museum (Brodowski-SP)
and Índia Vanuíre Historical and Pedagogical Museum (Tupã-SP),
and still supports the actions of SISEM-SP (State Museums
System).
