Natural History Artists are known for creating imagery from such obscure sources as the fossil record. These artists are rarely a part of the art world, that is one does not find their work in many mainstream galleries, yet their work is often unsurpassed in detail and exotic beauty. If art is a way to communicate life, then paleo art is the only way to communicate past life. The Festival of Lights is a cherished tradition which involves the lighting of six thousand luminarias in Tlaquepaque's courtyards and walkways. Dozens of entertaining events, including performances by carolers, musicians and dancers, are scheduled from 12p.m. to 7p.m. At dusk, residents, guests and visitors start lighting the luminarias while enjoying complimentary apple cider and festive holiday music.
Admission is free.
