Sesc 14 Bis is the new leisure option in the Bela Vista neighborhood, in São Paulo

One of the most traditional and lively neighborhoods in the capital of São Paulo has a new Sesc to call its own! Activities began in October, at number 285 on Rua Dr. Plínio Barreto, in Bela Vista – close to Av. 9 de Julho. Named Sesc 14 Bis , the unit will have an exhibition space and space for physical and sports activities , play spaces, reading spaces and multiple uses for cultural workshops, experiences, chats and open classes . Completing the list are a library, cafeteria, Sesc store and a large public square . The space currently has three floors: the ground floor and two floors above. The traditional Raul Cortez Theater has been revamped and will open on the second floor with a capacity of 513 seats - one of the largest among Sesc units in the capital.

On the ground floor is where the common area is located: a large space with double height ceilings that provides a dialogue between the internal and external environments. There is also a reading area, a library and a cafeteria . The first floor has a generous 1,800 m² to host various activities such as open classes, meetings and workshops for physical-sports, technology and arts and socio-educational programs. Retractable structures with mobile walls in a sliding system allow different activities to be carried out simultaneously, all with free access and open to the public of all ages. The second floor is entirely dedicated to hosting the Raul Cortez Theater – a space for shows, concerts and more.
