San Miguel de Allende is filled to the brim with art, culture, and colonial architecture. And art schools. Each school is better than the next. Each school has its own courtyard cafe. So you can have an Americano coffee while studying about Frida Kahlo.

Actually, Clarke did write a book about Mennonite art. Not Mexican art. And there are Mennonites in Mexico. (They make Menonita cheese in Chihuahua.) Clarke's book is Here.
