Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco): Arts

Interested in knowing more about mexican art in Rocky Point (Puerto-Penasco)?

Artists are drawn to Puerto Penasco for many of the same reasons they are drawn to the southwest in general – the region’s sheer beauty. Penasco sits in a region where land meets sea, where mountains meet the desert, and where amazing sunsets segue into sweeping views of the stars at night.

In addition to the kinds of crafts many people associate with Mexico – things like the region’s reknowned woodworks, glasswork, leather, and jewelery – look long enough and you’ll find the work of fine artisans everywhere.

We’ve put together some information about the arts in Puerto Penasco, but we admit it is a little lacking: if you have some information or a link you’d like to send us, please do so.

“I hold free classes for teenagers teaching them spray painting as a fine art in an attempt to discourage graffiti & create a sense of civic pride”, says Victor

Aleman targets large walls,traffic boxes,places where teens normally do graffiti. His perfected methods originally started out on the streets of Mexico City in the early 1980’s. He can be reached at: Box 18, Lukeville,Arizona 85341
