The mission of the YAM Gallery is to promote and to make contemporary art accessible to a vast public. The Yam Gallery is located in San Miguel de Allende, in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. It opened its doors in 2010 under the artistic direction of its founding members, Adolfo Caballero from Chile, and Marie Moébius from France. The YAM Gallery operates inside the historic Instituto Allende where it occupies a 200m2 space divided among four exhibition rooms.

YAM Gallery champions the artistic output of 15 artists working in various media: photography, painting, sculpture, art installation, drawing, video and other assorted graphic arts. Born during the two decades spanning the late 1960s to the late 1980s, these artists, who are native of Mexico, Chile, Argentina, France and Canada, are at the forefront of new artistic forms to challenge and reinvigorate esthetic precepts with the aim of reinterpreting the artistic narratives at work in our societies.
