Hello fellows!

Concluding our participation and activities on Wiki Loves Earth, we organized an exhibition during the event "Paraty em Foco" in the historical city of Paraty - Rio de Janeiro.

During the event (Sep 24-28) the exhibition received near 1.500 visitors daily and the exhibition continued until October 12.

The exhibition was exhibited inside the Casa da Cultura, an historical building constructed during the 18th century (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Loves_Earth_Brasil_2014_-_Exhib...) that is a cultural reference in the region.

Students from the near islands/beaches visited the exhibition during Paraty em Foco, as you can see here http://migre.me/mihhY

I've published some pictures and information about the exhibition here https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2014/Brasil/Ex... (in portuguese)

We received a lot of visibility during the WLE, generating excellent results for Wikimedia Commons. Near 900 new users and 7.000 photos uploaded.

The contest and exhibition was published in many sites and blogs, including a printed magazine with 50.000 copies distributed around all Brazilian states.
