Log in to your accountA nonprofit association in Rio de Janeiro that uses education, culture, art and sport to open paths for the people who need it most.
AMACE was born from the dream of Renner Avillis, the artist and founder of the project, who performs as Xulipa the Clown. Art was the starting point, but the project soon went far beyond it.
Since 2020, we have been a nonprofit association offering free vocational courses, art, culture and sports activities, and social programs for the people who need it most, from our headquarters in Pilares.
Today, AMACE uses education, culture and sports to open doors: we prepare young people and adults for the job market and help each person grow in their community.
