Open to the public.

M. Macedo´s second gallery is located in the upscale home decoration center, Ponteio Lar Shopping about 15 minutes from downtown toward Rio.

Attractive space representing a slightly limited number of contemporary Brazilian artists. Generally large works. Sells to architectural clients and installations, but gallery is open to the public.
 

Murilo Castro Escritorio de Arte
Contemporary, Abstract Geometric, Abstract Expressionist, Cubist, Minimalist and Op Art, Modern and conceptual sculpture
One of Belo Horizonte´s most active galleries, Murilo Castro offers a selection similar to that of Quadrum or Manuel Macedo, with many of the same artists. Murilo also offers some lesser-known, emerging artists along with some rare works from famous names. Murilo Castro produces a respected auction every few months, consisting of primarily famous Brazilian artists. Gallery is open to the public.
 

Celma Albuquerque
Contemporary, Avant-guarde, Urban, Orfist, Abstract Geometric, Minimalist and Op Art, Modern Sculpture, Conceptual Sculpture
Along with Regard Galeria, this is one of Belo Horizonte´s more visually spectacular galleries. They have a somewhat mixed bag of artists, ranging from emerging to well known and from conceptural, avant-guarde styles to decorative. Regular exhibitions. Hit and miss in terms of quality, but contains a stock of excellent works. Mostly very large works.
 

Palacio dos Lelões
Contemporary, Impressionist, Expressionist, Fauvist, Cubist, Realist, Neo-Expressionist
A large space dedicated primarily to contemporary Brazilian artists of national renoun from 1850 to 1970 and the more classical styles of the same era (i.e., no pop or urban art styles). Some living artists of similar styles. Tends to be pricey, but some rare finds are avilable. Sells mostly to collectors. A bit of a snobby scene. The Palacio also hosts regular auctions in its upstairs auction gallery, usually offering works from living artists.
 

Galeria Arol Flynn
Contemporary, Abstract, Impressionist, Expressionist, Fauvist, Cubist, Realist
A small but packed gallery of art from contemporary, living (mostly), Brazilian artists working in classical or realistic styles. Some abstract offerings, but nothing worth noticing. Sells serigraphs on paper and canvas. Be careful about numeration. Open to the public.
 

Solange Pretti
 

Agnus Dei Galeria de Arte

AM Galeria
Contemporary, Abstract, Abstract Expressionist, Cubist, Neo-Expressionist, Etchings, Sketches, Modern Sculpture
AM likes to think of itself as Belo Horizonte´s only gallery representing artists of international repute. Whether true or not, AM does offer a list of well-known talent in the areas of contemporary and abstract art. Has an ample selection of sculpture and a pretty sculpture garden out back, along with a stock of large-format paintings, etchings and sketches.
