FONART - Galeria Reform

Do not haggle with street vendors. These stores, run by the Mexican Endowment for the Arts, have an incredible selection of folk art - with proofs of origin. The pieces are curated and artisans paid fairly. I go whenever I am in Mexico City and always all in love with at least one piece for my collection.

went here on my last day in mexico city because they guarantee that the artists are payed a living wage. prices were marked and there was no haggling. i got a bunch of stuff, and honestly, the prices were really good! i was able to get gifts for everyone in my family for like $125 usd total. from what i saw, the textiles were most expensive. the associates were very patient with me, and held all my stuff at the counter while i looked. they packaged everything perfectly for travel, and they even let me split payment between cash & card. will definitely go back!

the selection have items might be small compared to the markets but it is all high quality. If you are near by it's worth a stop!

Excellent products and helpful staff. It's a nice middle ground between the super expensive boutiques and the markets where you don't know what you'll get or how much is a fair price. Found some lovely rebozos here that I'm thrilled with! That they're very fair with the artisans is certainly a plus!

Nice gathering handcrafts from different Mexico’s regions, it’s a small place whit a old looking showing the government involvement with lack of focus to better represent Mexican heritage. You can find some handcrafts but some may not be the highest quality, room for improvement.

FONART has beautiful craft items from all over Mexico. I recently purchased two de las Muertas figurines. I expressed my concern about transporting them home and the sales person told me "no problem" that she would wrap them properly. I asked if they also had boxes . She told me that they didn't have boxes for them. I took great care with them and carried them on the plane with me. Both items had broken pieces when I unwrapped them. I am very disappointed. The store is full of delicate items and they should have sufficiently wrapped the figurines and had boxes for them. How were they transported to the store without breaking?

Cool government run store filled with random things from small knickknacks, ceramics, decorations, and unique authentic clothing. Everything is authentic and well-made. It is not that cheap - fairly priced- but if you’re looking for unique items or gifts a step up above other Mercado’s, check here
