Audio Guide of the Club of the Newspapers Cultural Complex

The complex is usually open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and on Saturdays with reduced hours, although this varies depending on the event schedule. It is strategically located in downtown Teresina, on Álvaro Mendes Street, right next to Pedro II Square.

Access to the common areas, the courtyard, and the Art Gallery is usually completely free for the public. However, if you wish to attend specific plays or concerts within the venue, you will need to buy a ticket at the box office.

We recommend allowing between 45 minutes and 1 hour to visit the gallery and appreciate the historic architecture. If you decide to stay and enjoy the bohemian atmosphere at Osório Jr. Space or watch a performance, your visit could pleasantly extend for several hours.

Inaugurated in 1927, it began as a social club and today it is the beating heart of Piauí's culture, hosting art cinemas, galleries, and debates. It forms an indivisible architectural ensemble with the 4 de Setembro Theater, making it a key monument for understanding the city's identity.

The best time is in the late afternoon and evening, when Teresina's heat subsides and the complex comes alive with music and cultural gatherings. The month of June is especially vibrant due to local festivities and folk events.

As it is a protected historic building, some areas may present challenges, but the ground floor and access to the main gallery are usually accessible. It is recommended to check with the staff at the entrance for assistance if you need to reach specific areas of the theater.

You are in the cultural epicenter; just a few steps away you will find Pedro II Square and the Mestre Dezinho Handicraft Center, ideal for buying local art. Take advantage of your location to enjoy a full tour of the historic center using an audio guide from IAudioguia.

Check the schedule for the 'Torquato Neto' cinema inside the complex, as they often show cult films at very affordable prices or for free. Do not leave without trying a cold drink at the bar in the inner courtyard; it is the perfect place to feel the local rhythm and rest after your tour.
