Puerto Vallarta Art Walk Resumes on October 29th

 First time visitors or those who rarely venture out from their beach chairs, might not realize that Puerto Vallarta is a major art town with more than 30 galleries that show a wide range of art from eclectic artists all over the world.

The first Old Town Art Walk of the season takes place on October 29th. This year’s art walk consists of sixteen galleries all of which will be decorated with a Day of the Dead theme to celebrate the upcoming holiday, Día de los Muertos, November 1st and 2nd.

  Throughout the high season, the art walks are held every Wednesday night from 6-10pm until May 2009. Visitors can view the art exhibits, meet the gallery owners and in some cases the artists as well. Many galleries include wine or cocktails and canapés during the event. The walk takes visitors through the quaint area of Puerto Vallarta often referred to as “Old Town,” although it’s also known as Zona Romantica.

Maps can be picked up at any of the participating galleries as well as many hotels and local businesses. You can also view the map at the Galería Vallarta website at http://Galeriavallarta.com/puerto-vallarta/artwalk.htm.

The rich history of art in Mexico extends back several centuries to the well-documented works of the Aztec, Mayan, and Olmec societies. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo cemented Mexico's place in the art world, and today Mexico is home to an amazing variety of fine artists whose work is displayed the world over.
