New life for El Sindicato
By Jesús Ibarra February 1, 2008 San Miguel de Allende

After more than 10 years of struggling to offer the San Miguel community an alternative space for arts and recreation, the building known as El Recreo or El Sindicato, located in the heart of San Miguel at Recreo 4, has a new life as an art school.

Called La Casa de las Artes Escénicas de El Sindicato (The House of Performing Arts of El Sindicato), it currently offers new academic courses in addition to the workshops already offered by El Sindicato.
