Dust off your favorite sneakers and get ready to take a stroll down one of the most emblematic streets of San Miguel de Allende, home to painters, sculptors, jewelers, muralists, musicians and street artists.
There is a phenomenon in which certain places have a special magnetism and are at the same time a source of inspiration for the birth of new artists and a point of reference for those who have been establishing themselves for several years, and this is precisely what the hotbed of Colonia San Antonio represents for San Miguel.
This effect has not gone unnoticed by the expert eye of Zara Fernández, who after two years of absence, is resuming her famous artwalk where she will bring together more than 45 artists along the picturesque street.
However, Zara knows that without a guide, such a saturation of artists could be overwhelming and you could end up getting lost, so they had the brilliant idea of creating a map marking the points where each artist can be found; yes, something like the Disney or Universal Studios maps that you spent hours looking at as a child.
To name a few artists who will be at the Art Walk, we have the figurative painting of flora by Alifie Rojas, the “Structures of Resistance” by Emmanuel Sierra, the alchemy of photographic creations by Al Tirado, the plein air painter Dawn Lundquist, the designer of textile sensory experiences Isabelle Manhes and many more fascinating artists.
Among them, 6 different artists stand out from the Outreach Program, which consists of giving an exhibition space to those who do not yet have their own, and this site will be the impressive Allende Institute that will become the cradle of the artists of the future.
Consider that the number of artists is such that you will need two whole days to be able to visit each one in detail, and it is well worth it. Mark your calendar for July 16 and 17 from 11 am to 5 pm to immerse yourself in this splendid tour organized by MyStudio.
Just to give you an idea of the proportions of the event, no less than 17 murals will be unveiled in the San Antonio Colony, making it shine even more and marking the pace of the upcoming Art Walks.
