When we moved to San Miguel de Allende, we were looking for furniture for our house. After searching the local stores we weren’t pleased with the selection. A friend recommended a carpenter that runs a cooperative of artists called Arte Unida. After giving him ideas, he produced not just pieces of furniture, they were pieces of art. The idea of this cooperative is to give back to the local community of Alcocer by both teaching local artisans this art as well as giving employment to the local community. These types of places exist all over Mexico and produce beautiful pieces of art, not just furniture!!!!! Join us as we visit this local artist! They not only make pieces of art for the loacal community but they also ship tthroughout Mexico and Internationally!
