I am living in florida, but I am going to be in merida from the 24th to the 27th of march, and I need some help finding information about art centers that are offering art or illustration workshops but that time, and something not so expensive. I really want to learn something artistic while I am there. (I speak fluent spanish) I appreciate your help... :) Angela Cool information, It seems to me that there are a lot of artists in yucatan.

For me, an artist planning a permanent move to Merida, the art scene there seems so alive and exciting. Everyone seems so open to new ideas and new people. Truly inspiring! I can't wait to make the move. Thanks WG’s for paying great attention to the Arts in Merida. For me, an artist planning a permanent move to Merida, the art scene there seems so alive and exciting.

Yes, I have seen the Merida Art Map and have made use of it. Last weekend I was in Merida and visited several sites on the map but was unfortunately disappointed not to visit a few that were listed as having hours that I had attended. Otherwise, the other studios and galleries were open for business. Yes, I would like to keep up with the Arts Scene in Merida as well as the entire Yucatan peninsula. Being in Valladolid and of a restive spirit, I roam about a lot on the weekend and will keep this website posted as to what I find. Perhaps we can develop a map of the entire region. There is quite a bit of work in the hinterlands that never gets publicized in the capital. I am glad that I got such a quick response to my posting.

You can find it at the Information booths in the Palacio Gobierno and the Jose Peon Contreras Theatre. It is also at the MACAY, at the galleries and museums throughout Merida and at as many restaurants and hotels downtown as we can manage. Oh, and it's also at the Merida English Library. In addition, Yucatan Living does its best to spotlight different artists in the Merida community and supports the arts with our constantly updated listing that can be found here: http://www.yucatanliving.com/art/art-in-merida.htm Merida's art scene is nothing like Mexico City's, but it's growing! Geoffrey, help us at Yucatan Living keep on top of what's new... we would love the help! Yucatan Living publishes the Merida Art Map, which has much-improved distribution these days.

For example, there is a gentleman who does paper mache 2 blocks from the North Beach on the Isla Mujeres. There is a santos sculptor in San Felipe. There must be hundreds more. I am moving to Valladolid come September. I would like to initiate such a project, would solicit info from those of you out there, and suggestions as to where it could be published/displayed/posted. I know here in DF, Conoculta has a small pamphlet listing the significant artesians in central Mexico who have open studios. I would eventually like to see something like this. I believe there use to be a publication that listed Yucateca artists and their studios, but it was inadequately distributed. It was only available at the small crafts shop that used to be one block from Merida´s Zocalo on 62nd ST.
