Material Art Fair

About Estación Material

Estación Material is Mexico’s distinctive contemporary art fair. For its fourth edition, each participating gallery and independent space will present new or never-before-seen work by a single artist, offering a more focused and intentional experience for visitors.

The fair is presented in an exhibition-style format at Plataforma, a cultural venue in Guadalajara’s colonia Americana. We invite collectors, curators, and art lovers of all backgrounds to discover some of the most compelling voices in contemporary art in Mexico today.

Venue: Plataforma

Plataforma is the home of Estación Material in Guadalajara. The fair takes over the entire building, which includes two expansive exhibition floors, an auditorium, outdoor patios, and a rooftop terrace.

Located in the heart of Colonia Americana, Plataforma is a center for contemporary art and curatorial research that hosts exhibitions and public programming year-round.
