Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – This Friday, November 8, 2024, the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romantica will light up with ARTE Zona Romantica, a bi-weekly cultural event blending art, music, and community. Running every other Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm through April 18, 2025, this lively gathering invites locals and visitors alike to explore a world of creativity in one of Puerto Vallarta’s most cherished districts.
Once known as the South Side Shuffle, ARTE Zona Romantica was created through the combined vision of artists, musicians, and dreamers who have made this part of town a haven for creative expression. With 19 participating galleries and studios, the event provides a unique way to stroll through the district, discovering art that reflects both local and global perspectives. Not to be mistaken for the Wednesday evening art walks, this event offers a distinct experience that celebrates the spirit of Zona Romantica’s eclectic community.
Galleria Dante, Puerto Vallarta’s largest art gallery, will mark the season’s start with a special “Meet the Artists” night, featuring talented creators like Jean Jacques Hudon, Luc Gauthier, Emilio Rama, Ana Tatya Neri, Gerald Gallant, Gustavo Lopez, and Cherie Sibley. Guests can enjoy complimentary cocktails while meeting these distinguished artists, whose works span diverse styles and inspirations.
After taking in the art, visitors can relax with wine and tapas at Di Vino Dante, an inviting wine bar perched above the gallery’s sculpture garden. Open Monday through Saturday from 1:00 to 10:00 pm, Di Vino Dante offers creative cuisine and cocktails making it a perfect spot to unwind.
Throughout the season, ARTE Zona Romantica will feature live music, performances, and refreshments, turning each Friday night into a celebration of artistic expression. In addition to popular spots like Cassandra Shaw Jewelry, Kathleen Carrillo Galleries, and Peyote People, the area also boasts a variety of nearby shops, restaurants, and smaller galleries that make this event a true community affair.
ARTE Zona Romantica is more than just an art walk; it’s an invitation to experience the creative pulse of Puerto Vallarta and to discover hidden treasures in one of its most beloved neighborhoods.
