    The Big Brazil Cultural Foundation is a not for profit organization that was established in 2004 for the purpose of building up the Big Brazil Cultural Center, the Brazilian house of culture in NY and promoting the Brazilian Culture in the United States.
 
    The Big Brazil Cultural Foundation is an organization dedicated to highlighting the changing face of Brazilian culture and establishing a two-way cultural interaction between the United States and Brazil. Our initiatives have drawn an outpouring support from the community, both in the United States and in Brazil, and from local and international organizations. Each year we will grow as an organization and initiate more ambitious programs and events.

    The culturally oriented organization, Big Brazil Cultural Foundation, was created to produce various events and programs in the cultural field for the Brazilian community, such as; Big Brazil Magazine and City Guide, Big Brazil on TV, Big Brazil Summer Festival, and its latest project, the New York Brazilian Film Festival.
