Resumo:
The library environment can be a suitable space for the production and appreciation of various
manifestations of art. In this context, the objective of this research was to discuss the role of the
university library as a cultural equipment, which can foster and stimulate artistic production and make
it possible to redefine the space and make it more attractive. In this descriptive research, the case study
method was used to analyze the artistic actions carried out at the Medical Library of the Faculdade de
Ciências Médicas. To collect the data, the questionnaire was adopted, which was later analyzed using
a qualitative approach, associated with content analysis. The results indicated that the university
library can be a space conducive to promote various cultural activities, encourage the creativity of
users and integrate the academic community.
