The article elapses from a qualitative research about the mural paintings by plastic artist Luiz Carlos da Silva, known as Luiz Si, in 21 municipal schools in Joinville, performed during the educational process designed in the project The Artist in Education, idealized and carried out by the artist himself, between 1996 and 2009. The large-size paintings stand out in their representative value as they add, to the landscapes, personalities belonging to the local culture. Its representative value also concerns the socio-educational action promoted by the artist, who aimed to give accessibility to the arts for grass-roots communities. The material situation in which the murals are found nowadays reveals issues related to the cultural heritage and to the understanding that the school communities have about their value, the concepts that surround them in their legitimation. They also indicate the lack of awareness of social individuals regarding cultural values which the popular manifestations represent in the construction of local culture and of the countryside, in which the participation becomes fundamental in legitimating the cultural asset that reveals its identity in its memories, according to the current studies on cultural heritage. The research had a theoretical basis, documents were reviewed and analyzed, fieldwork and interviews were conducted with people involved in the artist’s project.
