(CNN) In the waterfront neighborhood of Santo Cristo, Rio de Janeiro, an artistic revolution has been growing in an unexpected corner. The video is a segment from the CNN Style show. Today, the 20,000-square-meter (215,280 square feet) building is home to local artisans, sculptors and painters. Built in 1934, Fabrica Bhering was once a chocolate factory. "There's a great variety, ranging from the furniture maker to the copy machine operator, to clothing designers from Cape Verde," says resident sculptor Barrão"We are trying to promote the artistic component within by bringing artists from other parts of Brazil and the world to work here as resident artists for a given period of time."
