Rio Inaugurates the Largest Open-Air Exhibition in Latin America

The “Colors of Brazil” project at the Gentileza Intermodal Terminal in Rio de Janeiro is the largest urban art corridor in Latin America, enriching the pedestrian journey with vibrant colors. The first phase of the project has been completed, covering 26 kilometers and connecting new urban artworks.

131 artists revitalized the 18 stations of the BRT Transbrasil (Bus Rapid Transit), spanning over 26 neighborhoods, through a program by the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with Companhia Carioca de Parcerias e Investimentos, Instituto CCR, Visionartz, VLT Carioca, and the BRT concessionaire. Five BRT stations have already received the artworks, including internal and external murals, fifteen viaduct pillars, and facade paintings.

The project is ongoing at five more stations, where each stroke, color, and shape tells a unique story that reflects the diversity and vibrant Brazilian culture. The result is an immersion in a universe of colors and shapes, appreciating the beauty that emanates from the streets of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
