Adele Aguirre, the founder of SoHo Galleries in Mérida, is hosting a one-night charity auction featuring over 30 artworks from her personal collection. The event, scheduled for April 23, 2026, includes pieces sourced from Mexico, Cuba, France, the United States, and India. Proceeds from the auction will benefit AMANC Yucatán, a nonprofit organization that provides essential support—including lodging, meals, and medication—to children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment in the region.
This initiative highlights the intersection of private collecting and local philanthropy within the Mexican art scene. By liquidating a portion of her private holdings, Aguirre addresses the significant funding gaps in the public health system that affect hundreds of families across southeastern Mexico and Belize. The event reinforces SoHo Galleries' established role as a community-focused institution that leverages art sales to drive social impact and support vulnerable populations.
