Mexican Culture Shines at Accruent, Xcaret
We had the incredible opportunity to create unique amenities for the Accruent program in Riviera Maya at Xcaret. Thanks to their collaboration, 50 hand-painted portraits were sold alongside 50 chocolate kits that we crafted. This initiative not only celebrated Mexican heritage but also supported local communities by encouraging the preservation of their fine arts and folklore traditions.
Hand-Painted Portraits
During this project, we collaborated with the talented artisan Rosarito, renowned for her expertise in hand-painting beautiful and unique Mexican folklore onto wooden portraits and sculptures. Her stunning works capture the essence of Mexican culture, bringing its vibrant heritage to life through each piece. Each portrait tells a story, depicting scenes from daily life, mythical tales, and historical events. Rosarito’s attention to detail and her deep connection to her craft ensure that each artwork is a true masterpiece.
Mayan Chocolate Kits
Chocolate played a significant role in ancient Mayan civilization, where it was considered a luxury reserved for the upper class. It was used in religious ceremonies to honor the gods and as a prized ingredient in their cuisine. To celebrate this rich history, we created Mayan Chocolate Kits, offering a taste of this ancient tradition. Patricia, a passionate local from Guadalajara, started her business with her daughter to share their love for Mexican culture. Their kits include not only the finest chocolate but also detailed instructions and historical insights, allowing you to experience chocolate as the Mayans did.
Supporting Local Communities
This initiative goes beyond just creating and selling products. By partnering with local artisans like Rosarito and Patricia, we aim to foster sustainable economic growth within their communities. The proceeds from the sales help these artisans continue their craft, preserve their cultural heritage, and pass down their skills to future generations. Additionally, it encourages the local youth to engage with their traditions, ensuring that the rich tapestry of Mexican fine arts and folklore remains vibrant and alive.
A Cultural Experience
Our collaboration with the Accruent program at Xcaret was more than just a gifiting experience; it was a celebration of Mexican culture and an effort to bring its rich history to a wider audience.Attendees had the opportunities to witness the artistry and passion of local craftsmen firsthand, creating a meaningful connection to the culture and traditions of the region.
We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to more projects that celebrate and support the vibrant cultures and communities of Mexico. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
