Art Galleries

When you think of Puerto Vallarta, art comes to mind. Puerto Vallarta is a mecca for artists and art collectors, with more art galleries and handicraft shops than any other coastal destination in Mexico. The influence of art can be seen not only in the galleries and museums, but also on the streets in the form of the fantastical Colunga sculptures that line the Malecón, the seasonal Art Walks in Old Town and Marina Vallarta, and the street artists who create various art forms before your eyes in seemingly impossible working conditions.

Vallarta boasts a number of excellent galleries that feature local, regional and national talents. During the winter months, openings are held with regularity, featuring receptions and opportunities to meet Latin American artists while taking in their work.
