Patron of the 21st Ribeirão Preto International Book Fair, the president and founder of Multiplan, José Isaac Peres was honored in the exhibition “Scarecrows," which runs from August 17-30, in the hanging garden of RibeirãoShopping. The exhibition is part of the fair's program, and through new productions by local artists and works by Odila Mestriner, it retraces the real estate entrepreneur's early career.
The opening ceremony took place on Thursday, August 17, and was attended by Multiplan's Vice President of Institutional Relations, Vander Giordano.
Multiplan is proud to support events that encourage culture, stimulate creativity and make a positive impact on society.
"I am happy and flattered with the invitation to be the patron of the fair, especially because it is such an important project for Ribeirão Preto, and that Multiplan, through RibeirãoShopping, has supported for years," said José Isaac Peres, whose story and connection with the region and the scarecrow figure is recounted in the exhibition.
