Puerto Vallarta is known for embracing the arts. From the many sculptures that line its Malecón to the fine art galleries that house national and international works, it is hard not to be impressed by the dynamic arts scene in this town of romantic charms and authentic Mexican traditions.
Every October kicks off the official opening of the Puerto Vallarta "art season." This year's Old Town Art Walk starts on October 27th, with 15 art galleries spotlighting local and internationally known artists from Mexico and around the world.
Art lovers can explore Puerto Vallarta's numerous artistic offerings during self-guided art walk cocktail exhibitions on Wednesday evenings from 6-10 pm from October 27, 2010 to May, 25, 2011.
All participating galleries are located in Puerto Vallarta’s Old Town, making the walk from gallery to gallery pleasant through the cobble stoned streets of the colonial city, all framed with the Pacific blue waters of the Bay of Banderas.
Both local and international artists display their work within these galleries, featuring art in all mediums - paintings, sculptures, pottery and folk art - so be sure to stop by to meet with the artists, view new work, and share in the wealth of culture these cocktail receptions present.
A free brochure with information about the Art Walk and a map of the participating galleries is available at most all of the major hotels, businesses and galleries in town, or you can click HERE to download the 2010-2011 Old Town Art Walk Map (PDF). |
