M as in Mezcal, Art Market and wood (Madera in spanish) this three concepts are the new words to explain in Arde’s ABC
MEZCAL \ The spirit of the earth
Mezcal is much more than a drink; it is a spirit that encapsulates the heritage of a land, the ritual of a conversation, and the flavor of tradition. In the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Mezcal Mata de Monte is born from a unique agave, the salmiana verde, and an artisanal process that respects and regenerates the environment. Each bottle is a tribute to patience and craftsmanship, a reflection of the Guanajuato landscape.
Like a work of art, a good mezcal is meant to be shared. It is the host of serendipitous encounters and long celebrations, the catalyst for stories and the companion of the good life. It reminds us that the true essence of creation resides not only in the object but in the experience that makes us feel alive.To learn more about their history and artisanal process, visit their official website: Mata de Monte
ART MARKET | The encounter between art and the street
Art doesn’t just reside in galleries; it spills out into plazas, workshops, and, especially, the Art Market. A market is a place of exchange, of encounter, of serendipitous discovery. It’s where craft and creation meet the bustle of daily life.
The Artisans Market in San Miguel de Allende reflects the city’s creative spirit and cultural richness. It’s a place where inspiration is bought and sold, where local artists share their stories, and where every object has a soul. At Arde Gallery, we celebrate this spirit of seeking and finding, recognizing that the vitality of the city’s art scene is nourished by its markets as much as by its galleries.For more information, you can visit the San Miguel de Allende Artisans Market page: Artisans Market
WOOD | When art has roots
Wood is the most honest material. With its grain and knots, each piece is a map that tells the story of a tree and the passage of time. In the hands of an artist, wood transforms into a work that retains its essence, its feel, and its warmth.
Art made of wood doesn’t just decorate a space; it inhabits it. It provides a tangible connection to nature and to the craft of the hands that worked it. It reminds us that the most beautiful things often come from what is most simple and essential. At Arde Gallery, we celebrate the artists who reveal the hidden soul of wood, turning a material into a timeless piece.
