Jardín del Arte Sullivan, Outdoor art market in San Rafael, Mexico City, Mexico.
The Jardín del Arte Sullivan is an outdoor art market where approximately 350 to 400 artists display their work every Sunday. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, etchings, and photographs created using oils, watercolors, pastels, acrylics, and other techniques.
The project began in the 1950s when art students from a collective called 23 Escalones started displaying their work outside conventional gallery spaces. The Asociación Jardín del Arte was established in 1959 to formalize the activity and maintain professional standards.
The market takes its name from Sullivan Park, where the exhibition unfolds every Sunday in the neighborhood. Visitors can speak directly with artists and learn about their creative processes and inspirations.
The exhibition takes place every Sunday and offers a wide range of artworks at different price points to suit various budgets. The venue has plenty of space for walking and viewing, making it comfortable to browse through the many artists and their collections.
The association enforces strict rules to ensure only original artworks are sold and certain subjects are excluded from the market. This has established it as a place for genuine, handcrafted art rather than reproductions or mass-produced commercial items.
