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.

We are open BY APPOINTMENT only and usually have an Open House the last weekend of every month from noon to 5 pm. Please check our weekly ad in Atencion for directions to the gallery and contact information. Please note: We are NOT a "Museum" or an "Attraction." One of the largest and highest quality folk art collections in all of Mexico, on a gorgeous country property in an architecturally spectacular, much-published building, Galeria Atotonilco is a ten-minute drive north of town. It is an eye-dazzling array of a huge variety of folk art, from funny to exquisite, from all over Mexico. Folk art is a direct route to the true heart of Mexico: it's history, it's traditions, it's myths and legends, it's diverse cultures. Items in all price ranges can be shipped anywhere. We suggest you visit us early in your trip when you have not spent all your money and when shipping can be arranged if necessary. Even if you know little about folk art, we guarantee you will be amazed at the diversity, and we love sharing our knowledge with you. In addition to folk art, you will see country antique furniture, vintage textiles of great beauty, and historic photographs of 19th century Mexico. Within a mile is the historic church of Atotonilco, and the gorgeous country restaurant, Nirvana. Plan to spend at least an hour in our gallery. The time will fly by. Many visitors report that this gallery was the highlight of their visit to San Miguel.
My husband and I, with a friend, really enjoyed our visit to this lovely property, with an excellent selection of carefully curated Mexican folk art. The collection is museum-quality, with something for everyone, at every price point, from ceramics, to textiles, masks and beyond. The owner is personable and knowledgable and personally accompanied us to the back gate where a short walk led us to a lovely place for lunch, Nirvana. The property is a beautiful setting for showcasing the colorful artisan works. My husband was thrilled to find curious mezcal figurine bottles he had admired in a private collection in Guanajuato, while I fell in love with the contemporary ceramics of Gustavo Perez. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely return on a future visit to the area-highly recommended! Visits are by appointment, so plan ahead. We were able to visit with only one day's notice, but the owners do travel to find new acquisitions so advance contact by email or phone is advised.

His work is all around the globe. Come visit and you will have a beautiful experience of peace, love and explotion of color through Juan's paintings.
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.

This well established gallery is the first turn to the right as you walk through the entrance to the Fabrica la Aurora. There is always a stimulating exhibition.

Galeria Nepantla is the concept gallery of controversial international artist Isis Rodriguez. She is a contemporary myth painter and pioneer specializing in "nepantlic art", meaning "those in the process of evolution." Isis Rodriguez paints symbolic still lifes, archetypes and scenes showing the process of conflict moving toward resolution. Galeria Nepantla offers art tours, art classes and fully furnished studio apartment rentals for remote work or relaxation.
The current exhibit, CRUSH, presents a brave approach to an innovative perspective and understanding on the experience of dating in a world where traditional binary male-female labels are changing dramatically. Acceptance of any sexual identity that doesn’t fit into the norms of society is finally becoming part of a conversation, for which Isis's work creates a compelling and inspirational platform, one that comes from her own experience, open-mindedness, and willingness to put herself out there with bravery and authenticity. And…I’ve been single and “NOT ready to mingle” for a while but I went to the party and left with an amazing new CRUSH….who I’ve been dating ever since….who knew?
