Periodically, we will add a section on some prominent topic in Mexican folk art. An explanation of the topic and its history will
accompany pictures of a number of artists' representations of it. Other times, we may explore certain kinds of art or certain artists or families
of artists. If you have a topic in Mexican folk art which you would like to see us explore, please email us to let us know.
Folk art is created by untrained artists who reflect their culture, often in a whimsical manner. Though folk art
is produced all over the world, we have a special affection for the creativity, humor, and versatility of the work of the Mexican people. Please consider this site a gallery of some of our favorite things.

We have recently moved just three blocks away from our original location into a residential area favored by artists. We are just
two doors down from the new Latino Cultural Center, a site well worth a visit by anyone visiting or living in Dallas. Its
architecture alone makes it an outstanding
place to visit and it houses rotating exhibits and performances. And don't forget to stop by the excellent gallery right nearby. We hope to see you soon.
