Puerto Vallarta is rich with art from all parts of Mexico but one of my favorite types of art from this region is Huichol art which originated in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit.

With almost 80 different art galleries and stores in Puerto Vallarta, it's become challenging keeping an up-to-date list. This list was created from a Google search.
Grupo de Teatro Dionisio performing The Night of the Garland tells the story of a coconut seller who is looking for his missing sister, who has eyes of a blue so deep that they seem violets. In his search, he relies on a drag queen, a waitress and other local characters who make up a mosaic that reflects what is lived in Puerto Vallarta. Photo by Jerry Jones
Grupo de Teatro Dionisio and Boa Viagem Teatro are clear examples of these groups that have stood out - not only at the local level but at the state level -  and that have exciting plans for this year.
