Garros Galería

Garros Galería, Art museum in Colonia Roma, Mexico.

Garros Galería is an art museum in Colonia Roma that displays changing exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, and photographs. The works come from Mexican and international artists and are spread across several rooms.

Garros Galería was started in 2006 by siblings Joel and María del Carmen Nava Polina with Rodrigo Moreno González, after they noted cat museums existed in the United States, Canada and the Bahamas but not in Mexico. They drew on their own collection of cat-related items and works donated or consigned by artists and friends. The gallery has since been featured on TV Azteca and Once TV.

The gallery's logo, "El gato Dedrita," was drawn by co-founder Joel Nava Polina to show the playful character of cats and their admirers. A painting called Gato Sombra, of a cat once owned by artist Odette Paz, has its own niche; visitors leave small handwritten notes asking it for favors, and the gallery sells small images with a prayer.

The gallery occupies a space in Colonia Roma, a neighborhood with many galleries, boutiques and specialty stores, so it can be combined with a walk around the area. It works with over a hundred designers, artists and artisans, and the catalog runs to more than 5,000 pieces, so allow time to browse the shelves as well as the exhibition room.

The gallery keeps a painting called Gato Sombra, a portrait of a cat once owned by artist Odette Paz. It has its own niche, and visitors leave small handwritten notes asking the cat for favors, a practice the artist and staff credit with granted wishes. Small prints with a prayer are sold alongside.
