Jardín del Arte Sullivan

[2] Since then the outdoor gallery has shown works by a number of artists who moved on to better things such as Rodolfo Morales, established a second and third art market in the San Ángel neighborhood and has grown to 700 members.

This outdoor art gallery was established in 1955 in order to give young and unknown artists a chance to show and sell their work.

A number of artists give classes in the market itself in painting, sculpture and even violin, which were given by Espinoza Carrizales at the Serapio Rendón corner of the park.

[6] The origin of the outdoor gallery begins on nearby Justo Sierra Street, in an area where many university students lived in the 1950s, including young artists.

A number of these artists such as Antonio Albanes, Armando Anguiano, Napoleon Panama, Efrain Reyes, Oswaldo Partida, Rafael Arles, Georgina Isita, and Jorge Contreras formed an association called “Grupo 23 Escalones” (23 Stairs Group) to share and critique each other's work.

[6][7] In 1955, a number of young artists began to show their works at the base of the Monumento a la Madre (Monument to Mothers) at Sullivan Park, including Armando Anguiano, Fernando Cruz Espana, Oswaldo Partida, Roberto Kan and Jorge Contreras.

[7] A number who sell works here as amateurs go on to bigger things such as Rodolfo Morales, Leonardo Nierman and Luis Pérez Flores (former director of the Academy of San Carlos) and Víctor Ríos Valencia, winner of the first Premio Nacional de Pintura (National Painting Prize) organized by the association in 1956.

[6] More recent talents include Ernesto Alcántaro, who presented at the Galería de la Plástica Mexicana and Froylán Ojeda, who has had exhibitions in Mexico and abroad.

The Sullivan Art Garden, is a point of reference for local and foreign visitors, since it is located on the tourist corridor of Av.

Paseo de la Reforma, a vibrant area with amazing architecture, where you can find both skyscrapers , old mansions, businesses, cafes and restaurants.

[6] (junto) There is no better place on saturdays and sundays to go for a walk and enjoy art, have an ice cream or a cotton candy and be able to talk directly with the artists than in the Sullivan, the San Jacinto and the El Carmen gardens.
