Mexico City is undoubtedly one of today’s most dynamic art and design centers. A cultural capital where the cost of living is affordable and artisans are readily available to assist with all kinds of production, CDMX—as it’s locally known—attracts more international creative talents daily. The best time to visit is during Mexico City Art Week, when the sprawling city hosts art and design fairs and the museums and galleries present their top shows.
The 21st edition of Zona Maco featured 200 galleries from 29 countries, while Feria Material No. 11 hosted 72 exhibitors from 25 different cities. Growing in numbers, the city was also home to several satellite fairs and exhibitions, including Salón ACME, Unique Design X Mexico City, and Clavo.
