From September 3 to 6, GAMA Week 2026 ( its 6th edition) invites you to explore contemporary art through an exhibition in Mexico City, featuring galleries, exhibitions, guided tours, talks, and special activities spread across San Miguel Chapultepec, Condesa, Roma, Juárez, Centro, and Polanco.
What’s Happening in Mexico City’s Art Scene
GAMA Week brings together galleries and art spaces from different parts of Mexico City from September 3 to 6 in a program organized by the Association of Mexican Art Galleries, inviting visitors to move from one exhibition to another and discover what’s currently happening on the local scene and beyond.
The program is divided into three areas: San Miguel Chapultepec–Condesa, Juárez–Roma–Centro, and Polanco, so that each circuit can be explored as a short route through consecutive galleries. The map shows how the route can be covered in a planned and practical way.
San Miguel Chapultepec at Gama Week
In San Miguel Chapultepec, for example, Galería Enrique Guerrero presents *I Used to Be One of Them* by Tony Solis; GAM brings together Jan Hendrix and Francisco Toledo; kurimanzutto presents John Giorno; and Le Laboratoire opens *Domestic Scenes* by Marianna Dellekamp, as well as a group exhibition featuring Gustavo Artigas, Mario Núñez, Luis Felipe Ortega, and Roberto Turnbull.
Nearby, Patricia Conde Gallery is presenting *Hyperlinks: Alejandro Cartagena 2005–2026*. On Saturday, the 5th, at 12:00 p.m., Cartagena will also participate in “Charlas y chelas” alongside curator Laura González Flores; admission is free. RGR, for its part, is presenting work by César Paternosto.
The exhibition circuit extends to Tacubaya and Condesa. Saenger Galería will feature two exhibitions: Mio Yamato will occupy the main gallery, while Temoc Camacho will present *Blowing a Cloud of Dust in Your Face* in the Project Room. Corina Contemporary joins the lineup with *Viva la Revolution de las Burbujas* by Jiří Georg Dokoupil.
A Morning Art Tour
The route continues through the Juárez and Centro neighborhoods, where participating venues include ALMANAQUE Fotográfica, Arróniz, ETHRA, Galería Hilario Galguera, Galería Karen Huber, GAGA, Mariane Ibrahim, Galería Mascota, N.A.S.A.L., Galerie Nordenhake, OMR, Proyecto Paralelo, Terreno Baldío, and Travesía Cuatro. The map included in the program makes it clear that at this point, you can walk from one gallery to another and embark on an art tour in a single morning.
Among the special activities is ALMANAQUE Fotográfica, which features *Hierofanía análoga* by Federica Belli, curated by Alfonso Miranda. On Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, at 5:00 p.m., there will be a Sound Viewing featuring a sound piece created especially for the exhibition by Leo Heiblum; on Saturday and Sunday, there will also be guided tours with the artist.
Arróniz is also celebrating its 20th anniversary with *Espacio-tiempo: Contingent Abstraction*, an exhibition curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill that brings together artists such as Marcela Armas, Omar Barquet, Perla Krauze, José Luis Landet, Fabiola Menchelli, Moris, and Rodrigo Valenzuela, among others. ETHRA presents *Trópico de Jersey* by Emi Winter, accompanied by an open house, guided tours, and a conversation with the artist on Saturday, the 5th.
In addition, the OMR Gallery presents *Voluntary Repatriation* by Rubén Ortiz Torres; while at LAGOALGO, visitors can see *An Obsession with Flowers*, a group exhibition curated by Anaïs Lepage, and *Making Space* by Studio Lenca. At Travesía Cuatro, *De aquellos barros, estos lodos* by Asunción Molinos Gordo will be accompanied on Saturday, the 5th, by a conversation with Karina Ochoa Muñoz and a culinary event by Colectivo Amasijo.
Polanco on the Art Map
Polanco rounds out the lineup. Ana Tejeda Gallery presents *Cosmetology and Hedonism* by Teresa Serrano, while CAM Gallery opens *fake gods* by Aldo Chaparro, curated by Tania Ragasol. Proyectos Monclova Gallery presents *Interrupted Images* by Guillermo García Cruz and *Sculptural Evocations* by Manuel Felguérez. Lourdes Sosa Gallery, for its part, brings together artists ranging from Giorgio de Chirico and Pedro Friedeberg to Leonora Carrington, Lilia Carrillo, Gunther Gerzso, Rufino Tamayo, and Ángela Gurría in two exhibitions; on Saturday, the 5th, there will be a guided tour and cocktail reception at 12:00 p.m.
Without a doubt, GAMA Week serves as an excuse to put together a personalized itinerary, select what interests us, see which exhibitions overlap, and also discover a gallery that wasn’t part of the plan. For a couple of days, the city’s contemporary art scene becomes a journey full of revelations and opportunities to discover new artists, as well as to encounter established ones and the galleries that remain at the forefront.
