In their efforts to bring Oaxacan artists and work to the forefront, Guelaguetza has partnered once again with collectivo La Piztola to recreate this beautiful masterpiece in their newly designed mezcaleria.

On a recent visit to Oaxaca, the Lopez siblings realized that one of their favorite murals in Oaxaca had been taken down by the Oaxacan authorities. It depicts the image of a maestro mezcalero captured by photographer Fer Arce Sànchez reimagined by the Oaxacan art collective, La Piztola. The Collaborative is a membership based organization and is in process of obtaining its non-profit status.Įl Mezcalero is a celebration of a recently boycotted mural in the city of Oaxaca. The goals are to increase category growth responsibly, build a common education platform, and create the high impact marketing campaigns that mezcal deserves. It exists to educate the world on what mezcal is and why you should drink more of it.
