In order to do that, it has considered the possibility of incentive from the city to its development and new socio-cultural processes from its Cultural Institutions working as a network. Thus, a Case Study has been carried out on the three major Cultural Institutions of Porto Alegre: Fundação Bienal do Mercosul, Fundação Iberê Camargo, and Santander Cultural. Its aim was to verify a possible networking among these institutions and its current relations with the Secretaria Municipal de Cultura (SMC) and the public.
