This is a rare opportunity to meet two engaging multi-talented artists in their home cum gallery (every surface is covered with art) and enjoy a wide variety of styles and genres.
In addition to art and to visiting their active studios, we will see an extensive collection of pre-Hispanic (prior to 1400) artifacts.
