In 1926 Cano Manilla’s work was exhibited at the Museum of Art in Madrid and in 1928 at the International Fair in Seville, where he won a medal for his painting India Oaxaqueña.

The same year Cano Manilla was commissioned by Alfredo Ramos Martinez to establish the school, Los Reyes in Coyoacan, where he was director from 1930 to 1934.

Cano Manilla founded other open-air schools of painting in San Andres Tuxtla, Veracruz. In 1948 Cano Manilla relocated to the city of Mante, Tamaulipas where he created a variety of paintings. Cano Manilla also worked as the director of the Instituto Regional de Bellas Artes in Mexico for a number of years and did important murals in Tamaulipas.
