SUPPORTERS

Meet those who make Sacatar's work possible.

Instituto Sacatar’s primary supporter is the Sacatar Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in California, USA.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Sacatar Foundation Board for its unwavering support and guidance over the years. The Foundation’s support has been instrumental in establishing Instituto Sacatar as the longest continuously-operating artist residency in Brazil and as an international reference for what an artist residency can be.

The Sacatar Foundation supports the UNESCO Convention for the Protection and Promotion of Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

“Artistic freedom entails human rights recognized and protected under international law, including the rights to create without censorship or intimidation; to have artistic work supported, distributed and remunerated; to freedom of movement; to freedom of association; and to the protection of social and economic rights. It is the freedom to image, create and distribute diverse cultural expressions free of governmental censorship, political interference or the pressure of non-state actors. It includes the right of all citizens to have access to these works and it is essential for the wellbeing of societies.”

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

We’re pleased to share Sacatar’s 2025 Annual Report!

Looking Back and Moving Forward.

The 2025 Annual Report is a detailed record of the artists, activities, and partnerships we fostered over the past year. It’s also more than that:

It is a collection of human experiences. In this Annual Report, Fellows reflect on their time in Itaparica, with a selection of these experiences highlighted in in-depth pieces. It also includes tributes to Fellows who have passed, but who we’ll always remember.

This Annual Report is also about transparency. It goes into detail about our program and priorities, and includes our financial statements alongside statistics on our Fellows over the years. It also details our partnerships and collaborations, local and international, as well as our presence in the media, panels, and public forums.

We also see this Annual Report as a resource for other arts and cultural organizations. It offers insight into how we are navigating the political and environmental challenges of our time, and we hope it can contribute to broader conversations in the field. We are equally interested in learning from others (if you see potential for dialogue or collaboration with your organization, we would love to hear from you!).

Finally, this report is as much of a record of the past as it is a framework for the task that lies ahead.

We love to hear back from our community, so we encourage you to explore the 2025 Annual Report and share your thoughts with us.

Thank you to our community of artists, supporters, and partners for helping us support intercultural exchange and collaboration.

Create a Legacy of Support for Sacatar!

Supporting the activities and programs of the Sacatar Foundation through a planned gift is a wonderful way to create a legacy.

These decisions should be made only after consulting family members and trusted advisors.
