GDL Art Crawl & Studio Tour Besøg
Beskrivelse
Denne tur tager dig bag lukkede døre for at opdage Guadalajaras blomstrende kunstscene! De steder, vi besøger, er skjulte perler uden for den slagne vej, herunder kunstnerstudier og private gallerier/showrooms, hvor du vil møde lokale kunstnere (både nye og etablerede), og har chancen for at chatte med dem, se hvad de arbejder på, og lær mere om, hvad der gør Guadalajara til en utrolig kunstdestination. Denne tur er et must-do for (moderne) kunstsamlere, kunstnere og kunstelskere! Hvad vi laver på hver tur kan ændres, afhængigt af kunstnernes tilgængelighed, og hvilke gallerier der har udstillinger på. Du kan regne med at besøge: -3+ mindre/mindre kendte gallerier -3+ kunstnerstudier (ikke åbne for offentligheden) -Street art / graffiti vægmalerier -Måske en særlig overraskelse... Husk, hvad der sker i den lokale kunstscene er altid i forandring, og midlertidige begivenheder/udstillinger/basarer/osv. pop op regelmæssigt!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
1) Cup Cafe - Vi starter på denne lille cafe, ejet af en dygtig lokal maler, som også bruger cafeen som sit atelier. Gæster er velkomne til at få en varm eller kold kaffe eller te for at starte tingene, mens vi chatter med kunstneren.
2) Sepia Gallery - Dette galleri åbnede i 2022 og skifter ofte over udstillinger af talentfulde lokale kunstnere, både etablerede og nye. En ung lokal billedhugger har også sit atelier her, og vi får mulighed for at snakke med ham om hans arbejde.
3) Tenango Cafe - Denne cafe er vært for udstillinger af tryk og malerier af lokale kunstnere.
4) La Bodega - Dette skjulte atelier i lagerstil er hjemsted for en fantastisk ung kvindelig keramikkunstner såvel som en af byens bedste malere. Både kunstnere og deres assistenter er begejstrede for at kunne beskrive deres processer for gæster.
5) Stop for forfriskninger - På dette tidspunkt har vi allerede set et TON af fantastisk kunst og gået en hel del gang. Det er et godt øjeblik at gøre et hurtigt stop ved en butik for at hente de forfriskninger, gæsterne måtte ønske (øl, cocktails-i-dåse, vand, juice, pop, snacks - alt er inkluderet i prisen for turen).
6) Højere Casa Gato - Dette er endnu et skjult studie, hvor to malere arbejder i en række stilarter. Vi nyder vores forfriskninger, mens vi chatter med dem og ser deres kunst.
7) Unavngivet studie - Dette lille studie er hvor to af Guadalajaras mest ambitiøse unge kunstnere arbejder (for det meste maler, men også grafik, keramik og andre medier). Gæster vil blive fascineret af deres forklaringer af deres værker.
8) No Somos Nada - Dette skjulte sted har et kunstgalleri og atelierrum til 7 af de mest energiske og kreative unge lokale kunstnere. De er altid glade for at fortælle gæsterne om deres arbejde.
9) La Extensión - Gæster siger ofte, at vi "gemte det bedste til sidst"! Dette store gruppestudie åbnede i september 2023 og er bogstaveligt talt "en forlængelse" af flere andre atelierer og gallerier. Kunstnerne og værkerne i rummet ændrer sig konstant, med malerier, skulpturer, to grafikstudier og meget mere! Bliv ikke overrasket, hvis en fest eller anden speciel begivenhed allerede starter i La Extensión omkring det tidspunkt, hvor vi besøger... hvis det er tilfældet, vil du blive inviteret til at blive for sjov!
*Hvad vi laver på hver tur kan ændres, afhængigt af kunstnernes tilgængelighed, og hvilke gallerier der har udstillinger på. Nogle gange er vi ikke i stand til at besøge visse gallerier eller atelierer. Nogle gange vil vi besøge yderligere gallerier eller atelierer, som normalt ikke er på vores rute, for eksempel hvis en særlig begivenhed finder sted. Du er velkommen til at sende en besked, når du booker, og fortælle os, om du leder efter en bestemt type kunst, og vi vil gøre vores bedste for at skræddersy turen til dine præferencer. ** giv mig venligst besked ved booking, hvis nogen i din gruppe har mobilitetsproblemer, så jeg kan gøre mit bedste for at imødekomme!

This was a very interesting, informative and informal introduction to some of Guadalajara’s art scene in terms of studios, artists, overall vibe. Ally, our accomplished guide originally from Canada, is very well connected and knows much about who’s who. Highly recommend even if you just want to see another side/aspect of this amazing city! 5/5 ❤️👌
I had heard Guadalajara had a great arts scene and it's one of the reasons I wanted to go. This tour with Alexandra was a highlight of my trip - meeting local artists, seeing various styles, exhibits and neighborhoods through the eyes of a local was a really nice way to spend the day. I saw a lot of beautiful paintings and prints and was able to bring one home to remember my trip . Thanks Alexandra!
For starters, I was visiting GDL on a solo trip and Alexandra was very accommodating to reschedule me due having a weather related issue at home. We ended up meeting together and right off the bat she was very welcoming. She introduces the artists to you to speak about their piece. Given my amount of questions and curiosity, I managed to take much longer than anticipated but Alex didn’t make me feel discouraged. It was a safe area to crawl around finding hidden studios. I will definitely be coming back to find more hidden gems and recommend her to anyone seeking a more in depth experience to Guadalajara’s art world.
What a fun experience! The tour was a cool way to not only see a fun neighborhood in Guadalajara, but also meet some really amazing artists and view their work. I love doing things art-related in any city, but it's usually museums or shopping. Ally made this feel like a true insiders-look and it was so great to actually meet the artists, ask questions, and hear why they create. This tour is a gem and made our trip feel complete.
We absolutely loved this tour. We met artists in their studios. So great. I'll repeat what others have said; we never would have known about these studios if Alexandra didn't bring us there. She was amazing. So much talent in Guadalajara. 200% recommended.
Every part of this experience was 5 stars, great communication from Ally from the very first contact, rapport with the artists & general interest along the walk. Interesting how many of these artists have works all over Mexico, many in public spaces, collaborations or commercially. I felt truly humbled by their talents.
Alexandra was helpful even well before the tour -=she texted immediately upon booking and even helped with restaurant reservations. She took us to artist studios that we would never find on our own and that would not otherwise be open to the public.
I don’t even have the words to say what an amazing experience this was. Alexandra did a great job of making sure we saw a huge variety of art, and met with most of the artists, seeing the spaces they work, hearing about their processes and ideas behind the work. The only thing we had to think about was how much art we could carry home (although Alexandra can assist in shipping) . Before the tour we were asked about anything specific we wanted to see. (The printing studio was amazing). We started the actual tour by picking up drinks for the artists and ourselves. We then went to 4 (?) different collectives/work spaces where we met about 10 artists. Many of the spaces also had other artists work to view as well. No one was pushy about selling, and everyone was so generous with their time and willingness to share about their art and the experience of being an artist in Guadalajara. After the tour Alexandra send a text list of all the artists we saw as well as links to their Instagram accounts. She is also an amazing resource for information about life in Guadalajara as a non native. The only thing I would have changed… maybe I wouldn’t have gone and seen a bunch of art with my day before the tour. My head is still spinning from everything I saw. When I am back in Guadalajara I will absolutely sign up for this trip again!
This is the best tour to be immersed in a variety of art styles off the beaten path in Guadalajara. Alexandra is highly connected to the artists community and is a wealth of information about the scene. The best part of the tour is visiting and chatting with multiple artists in one day right in their studios. An afternoon well spent in Guadalajara!
I learned lots of intriguing things about arts!
