    Vale believes that living the culture makes it possible for people to expand their knowledge, their vision of the world and create new perspectives for the future.

    In this regard, for more than two decades the company has invested in and fostered the multiple Brazilian cultural manifestations. In 2020, the Vale Cultural Institute was created with the purpose of enhancing Vale's role in culture, valuing heritage, democratizing access, and promoting artistic expressions. 

    Sponsorship

    Vale believes in the transforming power of culture and knowledge. Therefore, with its own funds and through the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture, it sponsors technical-scientific and cultural initiatives, in addition to promoting public notices and training new bidders and cultural agents.

    Vale Cultural Institute

    The recognition of culture as a means of transformation led Vale to create the Vale Cultural Institute.

    Its performance - in museums and cultural centers of its own, in the preservation and enhancement of material and immaterial heritage and in the multiple artistic manifestations that it carries out or promotes - is supported by the vision that culture is capable of generating a positive impact on people's lives and building a legacy for future generations.

    Museums and Cultural Centers

    Vale’s Cultural Institute  brings together four museums and cultural centers in the states where we operate.  They are spaces open to the public, with free visitation, working with schools and social organizations, their own identity and vocation, built for and with the communities of the territories of which they are part.
