A rusted, siding iron door looks like it might lead to a junkyard, but instead it opens to the vine-lined patio of this charming two-story white brick house. Proceed inside to a cool, calm interior with a first-floor exhibition space, and climb the wooden stairs to watch a multimedia video or to check out works by other artists represented by the gallery, which are displayed in two rooms, including the gallery office. Don’t be shy: the gallery staff are happy to share their space and tell you about the artists, who often have work on display at other São Paulo art events.

NOTE, Galeria Ímpar joined forces in 2012 with Central Galeria de Arte Contemporânea, in a new location in Vila Madalena.
