A Folk Art Buyer's Heaven
If you've never attended Feria Maestros del Arte, treat yourself to a buyer's "heaven" where all the art is conveniently in one place on the edge of beautiful Lake Chapala, shippers are on-site to help you ship your purchases, and there are no middleman prices because the Feria is non-profit. Artists pay nothing to attend - no booth fee, no percentage of sales and they are housed with local families while at the show.
This is truly an opportunity to purchase Mexican arts and crafts from some of the finest artists Mexico has to offer and to meet the artists themselves. There will also be tequila tasting, Mexican food, regional dancing and music as well as a charity raffle each day of art donated by each artist.
