Galleria Dante Reopens for the Season
 Claire and Joe Guarniere - PVNN
| | Galleria Dante's first Open Studio of the season will feature Juana Cortez (above) and Oscar Solis painting in the gallery on October 8th and 9th from 11 am to 2 pm. | | |
After a busy summer, Galleria Dante reopened October 1st. Once again we will have "artists in residence" painting in the gallery, starting on October 8th, from 11 am until 2 pm featuring Juana Cortez and Oscar Solis. They are here for only two days this trip.
Since many of our artists live outside Vallarta, and collectors cannot visit their studios, we are bringing the artists' studios to them. At these "Open Studios" one or more artists will take turns painting on site. Last year the artists found this to be so successful, that many more will be working in the gallery this season.
December 21st, 2008 marks our 20th Anniversary in business in Vallarta. Many of you will remember our Italian restaurant "Pizza Joe" which was in operation for seven years, and in 1995 we opened "Galleria Dante." We could not have done it without the support of local artists and collectors, as well as the many wonderful people who have visited our fair city, (Mexicans, Canadians, Americans and Europeans) who patronized us and recommended us to all their family and friends. Thank you to all for the friendship you gave our family and our staff over the past 20 years.
Many of our current artists, in addition to their former techniques, are experimenting with new materials and styles and are anxious to present these works to you throughout the upcoming season.
Artists Cherie Sibley, Peter Spataro, and Pipo Brockman continue with their Art Classes and workshops. We would be happy to forward them any inquiries.
We are pleased to welcome Leticia Schmidt, talented artists in encaustics, in addition to abstract oils and acrylics. We also received this month new sculptures by Israel Zzepda.
Open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, Galleria Dante is located at Basilio Badillo #269 on the South Side of Puerto Vallarta. |
