About the Festival

What kind of festival fits a vibrant city like San Miguel de Allende? That’s the question we were asking ourselves six months ago. We threw around words like, “International, artistic, and community.” We talked of ideas like chaos, journey, and transformation. One thing was certain. We wanted to create a festival that could change you, or at the very least offer an experience you would never forget.

The Art of the Story 2024 Festival will bring an international lineup of presenters, offer sessions in various artistic disciplines such as painting, acting, dance, and writing, as well as follow the theme, “telling a narrative through art.”

To keep with our artistic proletarian roots all sessions and the three-day pass are priced so the local community can attend. Each 2-hour session can be purchased individually for USD$40 and the advanced price for the Festival Pass is only USD$350.
