Contemporary Art Center in Mérida, Yucatán

Lux Perpetua Art Centre is one of the leading art galleries in Mérida, dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary art by national and international artists. Its main objective is to bring art closer to the general public by offering free admission to exhibitions, as well as developing programs and activities that foster dialogue and participation.

Since 2015, Lux Perpetua Art Centre has taken on the mission of expanding and strengthening Mérida’s art market, creating a bridge between artists and a growing community of collectors, art enthusiasts, and curious visitors. It is a space where the commercial and the creative intersect in equal measure, allowing art and ideas to meet and nourish one another.

Casa Lo’ol is a printmaking workshop that forms part of the broader Lux Perpetua project. Since 2016, in collaboration with more than 50 invited artists and its operational team, it has developed graphic-based artistic proposals aimed at conveying ideas through the production of editioned works using various intaglio techniques on metal plates.

Located in the Itzimná neighborhood—one of the oldest and most emblematic areas of Mérida—the workshop offers artists an immersive experience that fosters a deeper understanding of the city’s traditions and culture, enriching the artistic processes developed within the space.

Casa Framboyán is an artist residency located in the heart of Mérida, Yucatán, dedicated to fostering artistic production across a broad spectrum of visual languages and practices.

Established within a 1967 Neo-Mayan functionalist house in the iconic neighborhood of Itzimná, Casa Framboyán was founded with the mission of creating a fertile environment for artistic processes that are sensitive, interdisciplinary, and deeply engaged with their surroundings. From the Global South, we champion a platform that bridges art, writing, and critical thought.

At its core, the residency cultivates a shared rhythm of exploration and exchange, supporting creative journeys that lead to meaningful outcomes by the end of each stay.
