Artists and owners of the new Galeria Mac and Lou MacTavish, celebrated their grand opening past Saturday and all of art sold between 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., the Canadian couple donated 40% to the Make a Wish Foundation. The two are no strangers in helping the less fortunate, especially youngsters that are facing obstacles in their lives.

For the past ten years in Canada, mostly in their hometown of Calgary, Alberta and also in British Columbia, the couple has donated a great deal of their proceeds to children's charities in Canada and now that the two have moved to Puerto Vallarta permanently, their focus has shifted to local charities such as Make a Wish, who focuses on granting the one big wish that children with life threatening illnesses request.

The most recent "wish" was made by a Puerto Vallarta youngster named Marco, his wish was to go to Disneyland and the proceeds received from the Galeria Papillon will go to help get Marco get up close to Mickey and the gang in California.

Among their artistic views of relocating to our area Mac stated, "There is so much to paint here, it's an artist's paradise", and Lou echoed "We want to paint happy". Come out and join us at the grand opening and at the same time, join in the generous spirit of Mac and Lou. It was a pleasure to spend some time with them and we all welcome them to the Puerto Vallarta community.
