Galleria Dante is one of the most magical places of this port , an open space to the visual and tactile recreation, it is not free because more than 70 international artist demonstrating their works in this place, one of the most visited places in Vallarta by the lovers of paintings and sculptures.

Gabriel and Alejandro Colungna, Rocio Sanchez, Eraisy Perez, Gloria Fuentes, Sharon Milligan, Alonso Peniche, Guillermo Gomez, Neil Cliffor, Noe Martinez Miguel Romosantini….some of the names that make themselves present at Galeria Dante, and without the surnames of the visitors that, fascinated with the vision of this miracle where paintings and sculptures “grow”, they even forget their names.

From classic art, to contemporary and modern, they find themselves in a special place, where they look forgotten, but for some reason blend perfectly with the rest of pieces around themselves. The color is the host to the visitors, it contrasts with the white walls and monochromatic of the iron work, the balance is necessary so not to take any attention away from the pieces and paintings of favorite creators, each one with an important particular history and that very rare do not say it with words, but is narrated with the complex brushing.

Walking inside, takes you from one atmosphere to another, always with a vision to what’s next, that one way or another it will make you want more, something erotic, but at the sometime reserved and rebellious, situations that very few times rejected and always pleasant.

The line of the light that guides the outside where the columns and sculptures of all kinds have taken over this space, with the least caution, in the mirror of the central pools water, accustomed to the admiration not afraid to demonstrate how they are open to sun and moon. Perfect lines, faces, human figures and abstracts don not fight to win the attention of anyone, like guessing, that this will come by itself to each one of the pieces.
