The Simões de Assis Art Gallery, founded in Curitiba in 1984 by the architect Waldir Simões de Assis Filho, is focused on modern and contemporary art.
In addition to the exhibitions held in its spaces, the gallery develops projects with museums, collaborating in the organization and curation of exhibitions of the represented artists. It participates in the main fairs of Brazilian art, and it publishes books and art catalogs through its own publishing company.
In 2002, under its curation and coordination, the gallery published "Cícero Dias: A Life by Painting", with works made by the renowned Brazilian painter over eight decades of production.
In 2006, under its organization and curation, it created the exhibition “Cícero Dias - Eight Decades of Painting” at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, in Curitiba, Brazil.
