After their successful participation in the opening of Artwalk 2024, Sinaloa artisans return to Liverpool Alley on Friday, December 6th to exhibit and sell their crafts on the second date of this cultural event.
Artisans from different regions of Sinaloa will show their talent and dedication in the creation of these works of art and visitors will be able to admire and acquire unique pieces of Mayo Yoreme crafts, including Jewish masks, drums, rattles and objects used in the Deer Dance.
On the first day of Artwalk 2024, held last Friday, around 90 artisans participated distributed in 46 spaces in the Historic Center. Paintings, sculptures, crafts, books, photographs, clothing items, jewelry, pottery, and some regional foods are on sale, and you can visit sophisticated spaces where art, relaxation, and health coexist.
Athina Afroditi Pyrovolissianou is a woman of Greek origin who loves the pictorial and photographic works of artists living in Mazatlán. In her gallery “Athina Spa” she exhibits works by Víctor Peralta, Alwin A. K. Van Der Heiden, Adi Rivera, among others, the intention is to spread and promote artistic works inspired by various daily routes.
Athina considers that the art generated in the port is genuine and contains elements that help in relaxation and personal well-being, and also integrates a series of relaxing activities where art and physical restoration are contemplated at all times.
The Galería Distrito del Arte, located at Carnaval #17 Centro, also participates in ARTWALK. It opens its doors from 7:30 in the morning until 9:00 at night and exhibits paintings, sculptures and thematic objects related to national festivities. It also offers a space to have coffee and contemplate the works of artists such as Yuliia Yushyna, Eutiquio Valdez, Ernesto Guevara, Laura Nava and more.
The person in charge of this gallery, Itzel Soto Rendón, believes that the goal of ARTWALK is to make Mazatlan art known, and for the public who visits it to discover that there are many talented people in the port.
In Callejón Liverpool, tables were also set up where Sinaloa artisans showed and sold their products. Marco Antonio Solís from San Miguel in Ahome, Sinaloa, brought Mayo Yoreme crafts used in the Pascolas and Matachines dances such as Jewish masks, drums and rattles, and objects used in the Deer Dance such as tenábaris (dried butterfly cocoons 4 mirrors) and the amazing deer heads. For Marco Antonio it is important to show and sell what the Sinaloa Indigenous Artisan Group makes and despite the economic condition that travel implies, they are present in Mazatlán for ARTWALK.
There was also live music in Liverpool Alley with groups such as Unión de Artistas de Mazatlán Chichisbichis By Las Chelas.
The public will once again be able to walk the path of art through ARTWALK on December 6th, for more information visit @artwalkmazatlan on Instagram and Facebook.
