In their Home where they live their daily lives as any family does. With two daughters, also interested in art, Meztli shows great talent towards drawing along with ballet; Citlalli enjoys painting and is experimenting with other mediums.

In their Studio, the area is constantly changes the aspect of being a house, depending on what each artist is creating at the moment. When you visit you will most likely find them working on their
different projects. And two or three times a year, this area is transformed into the workshops that they offer teaching sculpture and drawing.

In their art gallery, the most important space: the welcoming entrance to their home, the living room and dining room, along with all the rooms, are wonderfully decorated with all their art pieces and forms.

In the gallery, you can take your time enjoying each and every piece while either sitting on a comfortable living room couch or at the dining room table, all while receiving the personalized attention of the artists, Melva and Abel.

La Casa de los Artistas is interested in youth and art education. With this in mind, they invite high school and college students who have artistic interests to participate in various activities.

They also host Chamber Music presentations and literary readings. And all the while, tourists like to drop in to see what’s going on and enjoy the space and the art. Casa de los Artistas is truly a place where you can get food for your spirit.
