Abstract

The study is an exploratory research in the Art History of Rio Grande do Norte and focus in presenting the main alternative exhibition spaces in the city of Natal, in the timeframe between 1998 and 2017 as well as classify their activities and highlight their contribution to the art scene of the city, as of the data collection. The main criterion used to choose the spaces listed was the significance expressed in the support that they are offering to the artistic production in the capital and in the programs that they have been offering to the public, always present in the cultural agendas. The data indicate that, in their majority, such spaces decided to promote culture because they noticed the absence of policies which included the artist.
