Fine
art is a real bargain in Cancún, with styles and
prices to suit every taste and budget. The more famous artists,
such as Sergio Bustamante, are carried by galleries and
stores that advertise in the principal guides.
Plaza Kukulcán has the largest general selection
of art, with at least two formal art galleries and—perhaps
more interesting—many informal spaces in open public
areas in which local artists sell their works direct to
shoppers. The best time to meet the artists is in the evening.
Another recommended gallery is Renato Dorfman's, on
La Isla Shooping Mall. This local artist specializes in
Mayan art and natural concepts.
La Casa de la Cultura in downtown Cancún, behind
Wal-Mart often has exhibitions of local artists and is a
must visit for serious collectors.
