“San Miguel de Allende has always been an art-centered destination, but SMART is unlike anything ever offered here,” said Hotel Matilda Director Bruce James. “We are transcending the typical art exhibit by mixing in cultural elements and fun activities to build a multi-media experience that taps today’s buzz.”

 

On the agenda for SMART are:

 

  • Exhibits by four acclaimed contemporary Mexican masters, Jose Luis Cuevas, Aldo Chaparro, Manuel Cerda and Victor Rodriguez.
  • Exhibit of latest photos by famed “live nude” artist Spencer Tunick.
  • Dance Party at Hotel Matilda featuring globetrotting, world-music maestro DJ “Naz” and his exotic blend of sensual sounds.
  • Cocktail party and private art collection showing at Casa Stream.
  • Tequila tasting at Casa Dragones.
  • Receptions or brunch at the hotels to open the art exhibits.
  • Hot-air balloon rides.
  • Private tour of Atotonilco Church, the historic pilgrimage site renowned for its murals.

 

All three hotels are offering a SMART package. Guests may stay at their preferred hotel among the three. The cost is $250 USD per night double occupancy, plus service and taxes, with a two-night minimum. Included are the cocktail receptions, art exhibits, Casa Dragones tequila tasting, and dance party at Hotel Matilda. 

 

José Luis Cuevas, who was born in Mexico City in 1934, is one of Mexico’s leading modernist artists known for his muralism and neo-figurative works; his paintings and sculptures have been exhibited worldwide.  Cuevas pieces are being displayed at SMART courtesy of[Back to Press Releases Main]
