PUERTO VALLARTA TO KICK OFF THEIR
ANNUAL ART WALK SEASON
Art lovers can indulge in some of the finest
offerings during weekly self-guided art walks held every
Wednesday from October 2010 to May 2011
NEW YORK – October 6, 2010 - Puerto Vallarta is known
for embracing the arts. From the many sculptures that
line its malecon 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.
Visitors to Puerto Vallarta can explore the town’s
numerous arts offerings during weekly self-guided art
walks from October 27, 2010 to May, 25, 2011.
Art lovers can take part in this season’s Art Walk, and
visit 15 galleries and appreciate the quality if the art
exhibited. 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 select galleries, and often times featured
artists will make an appearance for a meet-and-greet on
a select Wednesday evening from 6-10 p.m. The artwork
ranges from paintings, ceramics, and sculptures to
Huichol crafts, and unique handmade jewelry.
The gallery Artesanias Watakme will be showcasing a
number of one of a kind pieces that are an excellent
representation of ancient Mexican culture. These native
handicrafts were created by the gallery owner who has a
vast knowledge of Huichol culture and art. Masks, yarn
paintings, prayer bowls, and beaded sculptures are a few
examples of the unique art work this particular gallery
carries.
