1922 Gallery

Mission & Focus:

In the loving memory of Elbi and Hector Manuel Rodriguez (RIP, 2022) 

The 1922 gallery’s main mission is to present, educate, promote, works of visual, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary contemporary women artists, from different heritages. The gallery’s purpose connects with the artist founder’s Bibi Flores’ purpose of empowering women, and supporting them by creating this space with the goal to increase women artists visibility and presence in the world, and art world. 

1922 Gallery presents, and represents women artists, and their works identified as emerging to established in their art careers. Additionally, while our primary focus is on female creators, we extend invitations to special exhibitions to exceptional artists of all gender identities. 

At the moment, chosen works are presented online as well as in hybrid pop-up exhibitions with collaborating venues or spaces. 

Gallery presents works of artists across different styles, and mediums, giving a primary focus to abstractions, and painting. From a genuine energetic point, and unique visions, matters of the spirit, cosmic, divine, empowerment, healing, feminist movement, energy, women, construction, deconstruction, transformation, growth, and change, as well as the use of abstractions, and colors are among the most prevalent themes explored by our artists.

Story:

1922 Gallery™ was founded by artist Bibi Flores in 2003 in Monterrey, N.L. Mexico. Beginning as a series of pop-up exhibitions, the Gallery would later find permanent residence for private exhibitions in part of the home of Flores’ great-grandmother’s built in 1922, which was renovated as a gallery space for those private events. 

The Gallery hosted private exhibitions and events in Mexico from 2003 to 2005 attended by artists, writers, musicians, collectors, and art promoters, including Eliseo Garza, who was friend of the family, and who was one of the main promoters of culture and arts in the state of Nuevo León in Mexico. He was also the Director of Museo de Historia Mexicana, Museo Del Noreste, and Palacio de Gobierno de Nuevo León. 

For now,  we keep moving forward with exhibitions online as a hybrid with collaborating venues in the United States.
