The 10 Best Art Galleries in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato
High in the cool hills, this colonial gem of cobblestone streets and picturesque churches inspires artists with its color, character and light. Baroque, neoclassical and neogothic mix in the city's buildings, notably at the pink stone 18th-century church on the Plaza Principal. Founded in 1542, the city is a mix of Hispanic and Mesoamerican influences.

This gallery presents fine art photos that are mostly of San Miguel, but go beyond the usual views, focusing more on the people. He also has some classically-inspired still lives like the one that caught my eye when I stopped into the gallery. It looked like a Dutch still life, but with tropical fruits, some of them starting to rot. Could not get it out of my mind, so I emailed the gallery and arranged to buy a print. They shipped it promptly and very well packaged. It is a very large print and makes quite a statement in my condo in Chicago. I think It is about cultural change and perhaps about the beauty of things that are beyond their prime.

Jane Dill is a terrific art teacher with infectious enthusiasm for her craft and her students. In her two day workshop, Mixed Media snd Photography, i learned many new and useful tools for making (abstract) art. Her method of printing and integrating photographs into a painting is brilliant and life changing! I would highly recommend her workshop for beginners as well as experienced artists.

We are lucky enough to frequent San Miguel de Allende at least twice a year and each visits starts with a visit to Amalia and her gallery Arte Divino. She has a beautiful collection of sculptures, paintings and pottery that are so beautiful and fit many different aesthetics. We live in a very modern home in the US and have had fun filling it with great eclectic pieces (that don't look typical Mexican") and the shipping has been so easy and cost effective. We have also commissioned many furniture pieces from her artisans. It's really a wonderful place.

You must visit Juan's Gallery. He is an incredible artist using vibrant colors in a very special style! We went with friends who had bought paintings from Juan and we were immediately blown away by his art and how willing he was to work with you on what you would like. If he doesn't have what you want, he can work with you to create pieces specifically to your tastes. He did that for us and we couldn't be happier with the results! He and his wife are extremely friendly, great listeners and really great people.
