Gallery tips for Punta del Este

How the regulars do Punta del Este's galleries:

• Buy the catalogue at Montepilatus. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• First Fridays and art walks at La Vista. Many towns run a monthly evening when galleries open late together. The easiest way to see everything at once.
• Bring a curious friend. Art is better with someone to argue with about it. The disagreement is the point.
• Check the exhibition schedule first. A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
