Art comes of Age in Cabo

Times without number, we've been asked in our gallery, "what brought you to Cabo, what keeps you here and do you like living here?" If we lived in New York, or Los Angeles or San Francisco or anywhere else for that matter, no one would think to ask such questions. What is it about Cabo that elicits such questions from people from all over the world? Maybe they're trying to figure out why they themselves are so attracted to life here, trying to find out if they could live here as well. Of course it takes more than mild curiosity to uproot and move to a new country.

Artists are by nature curious and generally quite fearless. True artists are not afraid to expose hemselves via their work to the public and if necessary starve to fulfill themselves in their work. Most of the artists I know lived many years of their artistic life in what most people would term poverty conditions, especially the early years of studying, practicing and perfecting their craft. Many talented people don't pursue this life for those very reasons; fear not only of failure, but fear of the insecurity that comes with a life devoted to art alone. Art is not only a passion, it is a calling for the truly dedicated not unlike other professions such as medicine or writing or music.

International Artist Day

Picasso's birthday, every year has been selected as International Artist Day.

This worldwide tribute to one of history's greatest artists will honor and bring recognition to the contributions artists have made to civilization.

Everyone around the world can do something special on that day to enhance the visual arts: take an artist to lunch, host an exhibition, buy a piece of art, attend a gallery show, visit a studio of your favorite artist.

If you would like to help promote this important day please put our link on your web site. As artists we need to network together.
