Arredondo \ Arozarena is one of the big players in the rennaissance of the Tabacalera neighborhood. Along with San Rafael on the other side of Insurgentes, Tabacaler is quickly changing to the hub around which the contemporary art scene is turning.

The gallery opened its doors in 2010 in Colonia Roma as the Talcual Gallery. Today it still aims to highlight the voices of younger Mexican artists and some of the foreign-born artists presently based in Mexico. There are a lot of them) The new digs give them greater space and light for exhibitions just a short walk from the always bustling Monument to the Revolution and the surrounding square.

The gallery hosts regular exhibitions, a Showcase Project, and an interdisciplinary program, and activities to cover a wide range of discourses relevant to contemporary art and cultural practice.

Well-recognized for the range of its exhibitions, Arredondo \ Arozarena was named among the Top 15 to exhibit at Art Basel in Miami Beach in 2017. Still aiming to highlight the best of the artists in their stable, they’re also reaching increasing audiences through ties with museums, art foundations, a range of art curators, and art critics. One to watch, the gallery is also normally a participant in Gallery Weekend, and similar city-wide art activities. The Facebook page has regular updates on exhibitions and other goings-on.

Monument to the Revolution

As elusive in meaning as it is allusive, the Monument to the Revolution is as eminent as the events it commemorates

Plaza San Carlos - Parque Tabacalera

The Tabacalera Park is the former garden of the Palace of Buenavista...

Frontón México

One of the most curious of Mexico City art deco buildings, the Fronton sat abandoned for 20 some years. Today, it's a casino and jai alai court once more.

Metro Revolucion

A great way to get to the monument and the museum, but a few steps into the Tabacalera neighborhood and you'll be glad you came.

Galería Rullán

One of the city's longest running commercial galleries, this one has always something curious tucked away.
