2016 Artist Studio Tour

The Artist Studio Tour is now in its fourth year, opening to the public 20 private creative spaces in the Centro or just beyond.

This unique self-guided tour is a yearly fundraiser for the Merida English Library and gives important exposure to local, national and international artists living and working in Merida. Many artists are represented in galleries and museums around the world, but the MEL Artist Studio Tour is the only time their private studios are open to the public.

The tour allows you to spend quality time discussing the creative process with each artist and if, the impulse strikes, you can pick up a piece for your home. Find sculptors, painters, printmakers, photographers, papermakers and more in this talented group.
