ABC No Rio is a volunteer-led nonprofit community center for arts and activism. Since 1980, we have provided a home for the culture of opposition and DIY spirit – facilitating cross-pollination between artists and activists committed to social justice.
We are currently undergoing construction of our new building, slated to be finished by the fall of 2026.
