One of the reasons for the strong presence of art was the professionals' desire to value Brazilian culture through paintings, sculptures, photographs and installations integrated into the decor by renowned and emerging artists from across the country.

The most genuine Brazilian art

CASACOR Paraná innovated by partnering with the Museum of Indigenous Art (MAI) to showcase some of its pieces. Located in Curitiba, the institution has a unique collection, the result of more than 20 years of research into Brazilian indigenous culture.

In the 27th edition of the Paraná exhibition, it is possible to admire wedding accessories made with feathers by the Rickbaktsa ethnic group and a bench by the artist Mayak Wuará , from Mato Grosso.
