destination of the week
the arts scene in puerto vallarta

One of Shauna's favorite places to travel is Puerto Vallarta.  She is especially interested in the arts scene.  Below is an excerpt from USA TODAY about the arts in Puerto Vallarta.
 
The resort town of Puerto Vallarta is known for its beautiful beaches, marine life and water sports. But, thanks to a growing number of murals, world-renowned galleries and the Malecon – its instantly-recognizable coastal promenade dotted with photo-worthy sculptures – the city has also become a destination for those who collect art and those who simply appreciate it.
"Puerto Vallarta has always had a vibrant art scene, from the naif paintings that Manuel Lepe sold Elizabeth Taylor back in the 1960s to the modern mural movement," says Kevin Simpson, an expat who owns three prominent art galleries in the city.
"Traditional folk art handcrafted in small villages by Indigenous people has become extremely collectible, and new infrastructure, cellular technology and access to the Internet have made it easier to connect with these artists. This change can also be seen in their art, with new colors and materials enabling them to express their ancient traditions and beliefs in a way that rivals contemporary art. It’s very exciting."
Parque Lázaro Cárdenas has been transformed into Puerto Vallarta’s first tile park, and artist Natasha Moraga has filled this mosaic oasis with lots of symbolism, meaning and vibrant color. And, because the park is federally protected, it will remain intact.
This exciting public art installation is an inviting spot to explore, photograph or just sit on a bench and enjoy. In fact, you can sponsor a bench and take a workshop to personalize it yourself, ensuring you’ll always have a place to call your own in this special city.
