Galeria Logo - São Paulo

Logo was born in 2011 to offer a unique selection of modern street, skate, urban and comics-inspired art with styles and prices that please both new and old investors (even those who do not read comics and don't know how to ride a skate).

Friendly owners Lucas Ribeiro (aka Pexão), Marcelo Secaf and Carmo Marchetti enjoy talking about how they discover artists across Brazil and the globe and what is the artists' history and identity to the gallery's work and proposal.

As described on their website, "It’s a vision that takes into consideration the artists’ production in its whole amplitude, beyond the circuit of galleries and museums, evidencing the relevance of their works to society".

Taiwanese Lin Yi Hsuan, for example, volunteered to work with needy children in Honduras, where and with whom he reinvented and inspired his work.
This is a great time to visit the gallery as the 3rd edition of Lista, the current exhibition (from Feb 4 to March 15), is a collective of all of the gallery's artists plus some special guests.

The great vibe and incredible space of the gallery make it worth the visit anytime of the year, but the current Lista indeed proves the consistency of the gallery, the dialogue between its talented, sensitive, genuine artists and the exquisite taste of the owners. Definitely a must go if you enjoy modern art.

Feirinha Gastronômica at Praça Benedito Calixto

An efficient way to prove as many Brazilian (and not so Brazilian) delicacies as possible is by visiting the Gastronomic Fair, or Feirinha Gastronômica, at Praça Benedito Calixto, taking place every Sunday afternoon.

Praça Benedito Calixto, famous for hosting a pleasant antiques / flea market on Saturdays, turns into a gastronomic pole on Sundays by bringing together many excellent chefs and food and beverage small businesses, working more as artisans.

You can find from hibiscus ice cream to an authentic acarajé, from blueberry macarons to gourmet hot dogs, from macaxeira to churros. But the trophy goes to the fresh sweets prepared by Chef Lucas Corazza, currently presenting, among others, an impeccable blue ribbon, Boston style, cheesecake.

Updated information can be found on the Feirinha's page on Facebook. Precious tips: (i) don't be impressed by the huge lines (they move fast), (ii) bring cash as most tents don't accept debit or credit cards and (iii) share the food, so that you are able to prove as much as possible. After that, you can walk around the Praça and the beautiful little shops surrounding the Pinheiros neighbourhood.
