Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 14:30. The gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly.
What to Do
When you arrive, take your time with the textiles, drawings and sculptures on display. Since the show is small and focused, you can easily see everything in an hour or two.
Afterwards, you might explore the university campus or the nearby Cumbayá neighborhood. In addition, the valley is lower and warmer than central Quito, so dress for milder weather.
Getting There
The gallery is at Diego de Robles s/n and Pampite. It sits next to the main entrance of the Universidad San Francisco de Quito.
This campus sits in the valley east of central Quito, in the Cumbayá area. Because the university is a well-known landmark, most taxi drivers will know the location.
However, if you’re driving, allow extra time for traffic, especially during weekday rush hours.
Who Is Affected
This exhibition is for anyone interested in contemporary art, textiles, or sculpture in Quito. Therefore, both local residents and expats living in the city will find something to enjoy.
Moreover, if you study or work at the university, the gallery is a few steps away. Even so, the show is open to the public, so anyone can visit.
What It Means for Residents
For residents of Cumbayá and the eastern valley, this is a convenient cultural outing close to home. In fact, you can combine a visit with a walk around the campus or a coffee in the area.
Meanwhile, for those living in central Quito, it’s a chance to explore a different part of the city. Since Ecuador uses the US dollar, you won’t need to worry about currency exchange for any purchases you make nearby.
