Perhaps you were unaware of it, but Puerto Vallarta is becoming more widely recognized as a center for the fine arts, and for the work of Mexican artists in particular. Art is like a window into the heart and soul of a culture, and if you’re already in love with Puerto Vallarta and Mexico, you really ought to make time to learn more about its thriving art community. When you're finished exploring, you'll be able to describe to your friends the pieces that adorn your Puerto Vallarta Vacation Villa Rental.
If you enjoy sculpture, painting and other art forms, and you’re visiting Puerto Vallarta during the city’s high season for the arts (November through April), make sure your catch the Old Town Art Walk. The circuit features many of the best galleries in Viejo Vallarta/Old Town; they stay open late on Wednesday evenings just for this event. Although you can do it on your own, most hotels and local businesses can give you a brochure with detailed information and a map of the walk.
If you just don’t have time for the art walk, you still ought to visit one or two galleries. At Galeria Vallarta (Juarez 263, down the street from the main Plaza), you can see works by featured artists and you can shop. Pick up posters, jewelry and local handicrafts for those poor folks who had to stay home. The gallery staff will pack and ship your purchases so you don’t need to worry about damaging your treasures on the way home.
When you’ve finished the art walk and you’re back in your Villa Rental Puerto Vallarta, take a minute to look at the way the decorator used local arts to create just the right balance of comfort and elegance. Then go back to the galleries in Old Town and select some pieces for yourself.
