Santa Fe ARTS DISTRICTS for those Interested...

Downtwon
Art and history fill the restaurants, shops, galleries, chapels, hotels and museums surrounding Santa Fe’s central plaza. Find treasures from Native American vendors under the shaded portal of the historic Palace of the Governors. Travel through time in the New Mexico History Museum, explore the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the New Mexico Museum of Art. Summers bring musicians to the plaza bandstand and festivals to the streets.

Canyon Road
100 years ago, this residential street of centuries-old adobe homes housed “Los Cinco Pintores”. The walls of the shops and galleries on this world-famous road still whisper the echoes of their voices. More than 80 galleries teeming with contemporary and traditional art line this vibrant street. You’ll find Fridays filled with opening receptions, live music, and artist talks in the Spring, Summer and Fall. On Christmas Eve revelers enjoy the annual Farolito Walk.

Railyard
Find big, bold gallery spaces showing modern and contemporary art, shop the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and the Railyard Artisan Market on Sundays. Grab a bite or a beer, catch a movie or a train, see SITE Santa Fe and view the Vladem. Summers hold free concerts, events in the park, and El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe Mercado. Galleries stay open late for artist receptions on the last Friday of the month. Big city feels, Santa Fe style.
