After the success of the first edition of ART IN SAN MIGUEL presented at the beginning of 2009, the Free-Lancelot SMA staff took over the challenge to publish Volume II with new artists, including photographers, jewelers and mixed media, in addition to painters, sculptors and ceramicists. The new edition is called ARTE EN SAN MIGUEL, which is kind of bilingual title, understandable as well in English and Spanish. The book is already available in book stores and selected galleries.
The selection of artists included in this edition will maintain the high level of artistic quality that was presented in the 2009 book.
"This time we are including photographers because with no doubt" says alTirado, "photography is the most popular visual art of our time." Jewelers are artists and the ones we selected are as well, magnificent sculptors. Mixed media artists abound, with all levels of installation, conceptual and found object art.
ARTE EN SAN MIGUEL Volume II is a unique publication, second only to its preceding first edition. We aim to present the international artistic panorama of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

alTirado’s “Art in San Miguel” showcases local artist by Lulu Torbet
The presentation of the book Art In San Miguel in this summer season renew the importance of the publication. On the original presentation at the beginning of this year it was a great success because of the content. For the first time in San Miguel this book brings 33 local artists of different styles, origins and cultures. Most of the artists are painters but the content includes also sculptors and ceramicists.
The main reason of this re-presentation of the book is that we are at the beginning of the summer and that means a new season for the arts in San Miguel. We have new residents and a new wave of visitors is coming, many of them are perennial returnees and many others are coming for the first time attracted by the artistic panorama in San Miguel.
There is an additional attraction. The presentations of the book will be surrounded by an exhibition of works of the same artists who appear in the book. That means a unique show with so many artists together under one roof.
The purpose of this presentation and the exhibit is primarily the promotion of the book, but in this occasion, the artists have decided to donate a good percentage of the sales to charity of several programs. (obras de caridad).
There will be the opportunity to meet the artists, have your picture taken and have your book signed by the artist of your preference, while enjoying the cocktail reception.
