Abstract
The Artists’ Home in Ilhéus BA Brazil and its history, economy and culture are provided so that the memory of the institution may be exhibited to the academic and local communities for their sustainability within the three aspects analyzed. The qualitative and descriptive methodology developed from an analysis of documents and other sources is foregrounded by Rehem (2001); Vinhaés (2001); Sarlo (2001); Campos (2006); Simões (2006); Voisin (2006); Dias and Carrara (2007); Costa and Gândara (2009) and Souza (2009). A discussion on the Artists’ Home is also a debate on its financial crises. The mid-2005 and the 2009 crises almost made its closure mandatory if the initiative of Ilheus artists had not come to the rescue with artistic productions and with cultural and literary events kept alive up to the present. Since the Artists’ Home produces culture and broadcasts the historical and economical regional context, coupled to its contribution towards tourism and local culture, it certainly provides opportunities and development focuses on the appreciation of regional.
