Art


 

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.

 

La Feria de la Lana y el Laton, meaning the feair of wool and

metal. Is a place where many of the artisans of San Miguel

show their latest art creations to the public anything from

jewelry to clothing. It takes place every year in a maket

place call Mercado de San Juan de Dios.
