La Mano Gráfica
Art Gallery
Add to Plan
This art gallery is run by painter and graphic designer Silvia Capistrán and engraver Artemio Rodríguez. The original idea was born in Los Angeles, California, in 2003 under the name La Mano Press, but five years later, they opened this gallery in Mexico and decided to change the name to La Mano Gráfica. Its main focus is on graphic art.
This cultural center is named after the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. Concerts and exhibitions are held here, and it is also a small bookstore, and a place where local artists gather to discuss their work.It has a relaxed atmosphere and is an ideal place to have a drink and get some inspiration.
This is a small graphic art gallery in Patzcuaro. They display some of Sergio Santamaría’s work, and they also organize workshops to teach the art of engraving, a very popular technique in Mexico.
This venue, located inside the cultural center La Jaranda, sets itself the goal of bringing contemporary art and high-level design to the Patzcuaro scene.
This gallery, one of the most famous and long-established art establishments in the town, offers a great variety of top-quality handicrafts at reasonable prices.
