The "Tianguis" are held at Don Vasco Square, twice a year. The most important of the two is the Tianguis the Día de Muertos. The best of Michoacan's handcrafts (everything is here) are here for a week during the Day of the Dead festivities at the end of October. (Important: If you are interested in buying something special, you should arrive at the beginning of the Tianguis as by the last days the best crafts are gone). During this market they have a contest for the best handcrafts.

Rick Davis and Michael Cullin have collaborated in opening a new gallery in Patzcuaro:
Galeria el Manantial
Corner Arciga / Cuesta de Don Vasco de Quiroga (directly across the steet from the Folk Art Museum)
Patzcuaro Centro
Our focus is on creative and well designed items for the home using Mexican base design and talent but with changes unique to us, as designers. At present we are showing some fine examples of mesquite furniture from Jalisco, blown glass lamps combined with Sta. Clara copper, and ceramic brunido pieces by the maestro Angel Ortiz. Many of you will remember the hand blown engraved glassware from Restaurant Cha Cha Cha. Due to popular demand Rick will be featuring a tremendous selection of this as well
Sincerely, Rick Davis and Michael Cullin
