During Guadalajara Art Week, exhibitions and fairs raise city’s profile

During the fourth annual Guadalajara Art Week, Mexico's art establishment gathered in Guadalajara for five days of fairs, exhibitions, public programs, and studio tours. The 2025 edition featured standout presentations at Estación Material, a boutique fair where galleries showcased single Mexico-based artists, including Sebastián Hidalgo at Saenger Galería and Othiana Roffiel at Galería Karen Huber. New fair Temporal brought edgy programming to a dilapidated downtown building, while Salón Acme's Estudio Acme staged a performance art showcase called Holodrop. Creative venues such as a 1940s garment factory, a 19th-century cemetery, and Casa Cristo by Luis Barragán underscored the city's experimental spirit.

Standout artists included Sebastián Hidalgo (showing with Saenger Galería) and Othiana Roffiel (with Galería Karen Huber).
