INHOTIM

TATIANA BILBAO

Invest in the long term through arts education.

Inhotim is a private foundation with a museum set in a garden. It’s in a rural area near Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The foundation was created by a rich man. It has a fantastic contemporary art collection with works by all the major artists. The works were created for specific sites within the garden. It’s a beautifully designed place.

Inhotim is responsible not only because of how it uses nature but also because of its ethical relationship with the surrounding community. Maintenance is done by workers from the surrounding areas. Artisans are hired from there, too. Its ambitious art education programs are for its neighboring communities, places where the arts are not a priority. Inhotim has found a way to introduce art to these communities. Art raises our nature.

More and more, the people who hold the majority of capital in the world must build responsible projects with their money. Inhotim is not about simply giving money away but also about educating people for the long term. Inhotim gives us the tools we need for a better future.

Tatiana Bilbao is principal of the Mexico-based firm Tatiana Bilbao S.C.
