Artists / Art Galleries

Todos Santos is home to numerous fine artists. Many have galleries in town or in their homes. Galería de Todos Santos, Galeria Indigo and Hotel California feature multiple artists. Jill Logan, N.E. Hayles, Charles Stewart (RIP), Libusche, Catherine Wall and others have galleries showcasing their personal art.

Other artists are not so easy to locate in Todos Santos. You have to look to find them. They work behind fruit stands, have day jobs as cooks, own bed and breakfast inns, sell real estate, or operate the town's classiest accommodations.

Writer C. M. Mayo, in her new book detailing a 1996 visit to Todos Santos, quotes Michael Cope of Galería de Todos Santos (referring to the artist colony),

"I've seen people stand in the middle of the street and say, where is it?" Michael chuckled. "They come up from Cabo for the day and all they see are a few old buildings and dirt streets. Years ago the Mexican government started calling this an artist community. It was an area that was beautiful, by the sea. It would be nice. Now the newspapers are saying that Todos Santos is going to be the new Taos, New Mexico, the new Carmel. There are a lot of artists here - painters, writers, musicians. But you're not going to find them in a store on the corner. And anyway, you want fine art, not poster shops.

"An artist community is a way of life, a place where people live and produce. If you want to find the artist community you … have to meet the people."
