The Only Guide You’ll Need For Mexico City Art Week 2025

At a dimly lit dinner party in Juárez, a waiter in a starched shirt poured mezcal into hand-blown glasses as an artist debated the merits of chaos versus control. The conversation spiraled from Diego Rivera to NFTs, crescendoing when someone pulled a curtain to reveal an oil painting of a woman—her gaze just as riveting as the conversation at hand. This is Mexico City Art Week: theatrical, unpredictable, and always a little intoxicating.

This year’s fair is expected to be its grandest yet. The big players—Zsona Maco and Feria Material—are must-sees. Local galleries like OMR, Galeria Mascota, and La Metropolitana are joined by international heavyweights like Cadogan and Pace Gallery. Yet, it can be the spontaneous moments and lesser-known galleries that steal the show. A secret studio visit in Santa María la Ribera, a provocative sculpture in a former mansion, a late-night pop-up in a cantina—it's all happening from February 5-9, 2025.

This A-Z guide is your ticket to the week’s most compelling corners: the shows, the surprises, and the spots to sip, savor, and soak it all in. Welcome to Mexico City Art Week 2025, best enjoyed with an open mind and a strong drink in hand.

NARANJO 141

NARANJO 141 presents An Indispensable Thing, a two-artist exhibition featuring Carrie Rudd and Lola Stong-Brett. The show highlights their distinct approaches to painting—Rudd’s work gives form to personal experience through layered investigations, while Stong-Brett’s gestural brushwork explores themes of longing and emotion. Despite their differences, both artists treat painting as more than a medium; it’s their essential mode of expression.

Dates: February 3 - February 23, 2025 | Place: NARANJO 141, Ciudad de México, CDMX, 06400, Mexico
