Mujer Artes Coopertiva de Esperanza

Amazing space and mission. My wife is from the area and coming down for a visit we ended up here. Looking around and listening to the woman talk in depth and passion about their art is a powerful experience. The prices are unlike any and for the quality and personal touch. You can’t beat the price, quality, or experience of their work.

The ladies that congregate here and use this as not only their art studio but also their own art gallery are wonderful. I wandered into this little house that has been overhauled to be a collaborative art space just before they closed. The ladies were nice enough to walk me around and show me different art projects, plates, figures, masks, paintings, legit sugar skulls, and so forth. My head was reeling from all of the wonderful art they were putting out. There are a number of shelving units all around the openspace room and each contains works from a different artist up for sale. What is better than getting a great piece of art AND talking to the artist. They do custom work and said that it may take some time given what is wanted but that everything is handmade. You can tell that a lot of love and sweat went into every piece. This is a wonderful wonderful place that I suggest everyone go to. They are open all year long and don’t just do Dia de los Muertos pieces (which is why I originally stopped by).
I would suggest bringing cash because I am not sure that all of the artists take credit cards (if any at all). The goods that I saw ranged from $ 3-​$ 100 so there is something for every price point.
