Zona Maco returns to Mexico City this week at Centro Citibanamex, reaffirming its place as Latin America’s most significant art fair. More than a marketplace, it is a barometer of contemporary art in the region, drawing collectors, curators, and artists from across the globe.
Founded in 2003 by Zélika García, Zona Maco showcases a dynamic mix of modern and contemporary art, design, photography, and fashion, reinforcing Mexico City’s reputation as a global hub for design and culture. Beyond the fair, the city itself is a living gallery, with beautifully preserved architecture, cutting-edge design spaces, and thriving artistic communities.
