History & Artists Galería del Claustro

In 1997 Galerias del Claustro is born at the cloister's patio of the XVIII century Hacienda de Juriquilla, located at the city of Queretaro. The gallery organizes collective and individual exhibitions, with a clear evolution towards new artistic languages, planning artistic events in and out of its borders. Working hard at the promotion of mexican contemporary art and its different expressions, the gallery pays close attention to the work of the great mexican signatures it supported from the beginning of their careers, and foremost to the new authors of the freshest proposals of the mexican plastic artistry. During its 14 years of trajectory, Galerias del Claustro has worked with great success in collective and solo exhibitions and in collaboration with private galleries, government entities such as DIF Querétaro, DIF Nuevo León, private institutes such as the Tecnológico de Monterrey and civil associations such as Fundación Muró. As an integral part of its identity, the gallery considers important that the artistic promotion it pursuits, lends itself to the collection of funds for social organizations. Under such premise, events carried out have benefited groups such as AMARE IAP a program of rehabilitation conducted for Down Syndrome children, AMANC an association which supports children with cancer, and more recently to the 2007 hurricane victim relief fund for Tabasco and Chiapas.
