The MEL Artist Studio Tour is a unique self-guided tour and an annual fundraiser for the Mérida English Library which gives important exposure to local, national and international artists living and working in Mérida. Many of our artists are represented in galleries and museums around the world, but the MEL Artist Studio Tour is the only time their studios are open to the public. The tour allows you to spend quality time discussing the creative process with each artist and, if the mood strikes, you can purchase a work for your home. You’ll find sculptors, painters, printmakers, photographers and more in this talented group.
