Into what is art, it's evident that San Miguel de Allende is of no wonder a place for the arts; where you see art every where in town of any kind. In fact, in this place art is a part of every day life. My father for example is an artisan from San Miguel who is a jeweler and owns his own business. |

And if we talk in terms of art creating, you may want to take this into consideration; there exist many sites in town where you cantake classes of drawing, painting, sculpting, or anything related witharts and crafts. El Instituto Allende (named after thegeneral Ignacio de Allende who contributed to the war of Independence in 1810 and who was born in San Miguel) for example is an institute for arts.
