I came back to San Miguel de Allende after 35 years to reconnect with a memory. And for [...]]]></description>

Personally, I think this is inconceivable.  I can&#8217;t imagine not listening to music while creating art.  For me, music is a muse and inspires the other art senses.   In no particular order, here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is estimated that the arts return $8 in economic output for every $1 in investment received. Economic value is measured as a better engaged and more productive workforce, a more stable and diversified workforce, a more vibrant and attractive community, a better-educated local population, and a tourism destination by visitors from outside the area.
