Our Story

We believe talent deserves to be discovered, shared, and seen by the world.

How Did Apolo Art Gallery Begin?

Apolo Art Gallery was born after several years of working with artists through Apolo Art Fest, an annual festival in Guadalajara that brings together a vibrant artistic community united by a shared love of art.

Along the way, we discovered an incredible amount of talent and realized that we wanted to create something that went beyond a once-a-year festival.

That’s how the gallery came to be: as a way to continue creating space for Mexican talent, showcasing their work, and helping their art reach more people, no matter where they are.
