It’s no wonder that Mesón Panza Verde, being the most artistically stylish boutique hotel and restaurant in Antigua, would have its own art gallery. Just wander around the facilities, and you can see how carefully curated the decoration style is, with an exact match between art and antiques.
For more than 20 years, Panza Verde Gallery has been presenting monthly exhibitions featuring many renowned Guatemalan as well as internationally recognised artists. Recent exhibitions have included Laurel Jacobson and Mitch Denburg, both well known both here in Guatemala and abroad. Over the last few years, acclaimed artists such as Luis González Palma, Julio Zadik and Daniel Chauche have showcased their work.
Imaginatively, artists’ works are displayed in spaces such as the rooms, hallways, and restaurant.
If you’re fortunate to be visiting Antigua on the first Friday of the month, generally there is an art opening between 5 PM-7 PM. It’s a great opportunity to meet the artist, get to know the locals here and have a glass of wine in such an iconic spot!
