Gabriela Menezes Art

Gabriela or Gabi, as she is  affectionately called, is a visual artist and develops decorative and utilitarian pieces for culinary use in ceramics and wood at the Gabriela Menezes Art Atelier.

Gabi’s project was incubated by the Itabirito-MG Territorial  Development and Social Transformation Project, an  initiative from Vale, executed by Raízes. Through the incubation process, it was possible for the entrepreneur to optimize and improve her work,  qualify the management of her business and access new markets outside of Itabirito. Participation in fairs and art and design events enabled the expansion of Gabi’s  product line and the creation of new collections. The application of the seed capital allowed, among other things, the acquisition of a new ceramic burning oven, enabling the improvement of  the company’s creations and the production expansion of their pieces.
