The Story
Since 1994, Adelante has filled a corner of historic Spanish Village with the boldest, most joyful art in Carefree — a gallery where nothing is beige.
Owner Mec Witwer built Adelante on a simple conviction: art should make a room come alive. For thirty years that has meant a content-rich, ever-changing mix of fine and folk art — paintings that sing, sculpture with real character, and jewelry made to be worn and loved. Wander the rooms and you'll find work from artists near and far, chosen for one thing above all: color, and the feeling it brings.
Tucked into the adobe walkways of Spanish Village, the gallery is as much a place to linger as to collect — a warm welcome, a good conversation, and walls that reward a slow second look.
The Collection
Fine and folk art side by side — content-rich, ever-changing, and never quiet. Here is a taste of what fills the rooms.
Canvases that sing — abstract, landscape and figurative work chosen for pure, fearless color.
Forms with character — carved, cast and welded pieces that hold a room and start a conversation.
Handmade to be worn and loved — stones, silver and enamel in the gallery's signature palette.
Joyful, story-rich pieces from artisan traditions — the beating heart of Adelante's world of color.
On the Wall Now
The collection changes constantly. Here's what's catching the light this season.
This Season's Highlight
Every few weeks the walls turn over. Right now the featured wall pairs a large color-field landscape with a cluster of small, jewel-bright folk pieces — the kind of grouping that makes a whole room feel warmer. Ask Mec what just came in; there's always a story behind it.
