Capilla del Arte

Capilla del Arte, Art museum in Historic Center, Puebla, Mexico

Capilla del Arte is a cultural space of the Universidad de las Américas Puebla in the historic center of Puebla, housed in the former Las Fábricas de Francia building. It contains a contemporary art gallery, an artistic forum and a small reading area with titles by authors such as Elena Poniatowska.

Capilla del Arte occupies the former Las Fábricas de Francia building, granted on loan by the Mary Street Jenkins Foundation. The Universidad de las Américas Puebla opened it as a cultural space in October 2009 with the exhibition Las implicaciones de la imagen, featuring over 80 works from the CIAC collection.

The name refers to the former Las Fábricas de Francia building, lent to UDLAP by the Mary Street Jenkins Foundation. Since 2012 the space ran Adopta y Adapta, inviting the public to reinterpret works from temporary shows. Its radio programme Así lo dijo Duchamp, named after Marcel Duchamp, aired weekly on Radio BUAP from late 2013.

Capilla del Arte occupies the former Las Fábricas de Francia building in Puebla's Centro Histórico, granted on loan by the Mary Street Jenkins Foundation. Inside, three areas share the space: the gallery, an artistic forum and a small reading corner. Exhibitions rotate roughly every three months in spring, summer and autumn seasons, so what is on view depends on when you come.

The reading area holds titles by authors such as Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska. The space also ran Así lo dijo Duchamp, a weekly radio programme launched in late 2013 on Radio BUAP, named after Marcel Duchamp; in August 2016 it aired a special edition staged as a fictional 1980s Puebla culture magazine, "Talavera cultural".
