Sunday, March 29, 2015 Nightlife Guide
The first edition of O Cluster was held in November of 2012 and it has since become an established outlet for artists in the city.
Held in a beautiful refurbished old home in the neighborhood of Botafogo, the vendors will again fill the lower floor and garden of the venue.
The fair was created by the duo of Carolina Herszenhut, the designer behind Branchée, and independent content producer, Camila Félix, to showcase the work of Rio artisans and designers in a laid-back setting with good food and music.
