The best of Canyon Road.
Explore the history of Santa Fe’s art scene as you stroll historic Canyon Road, a perfect vacation destination just minutes away from the top Santa Fe hotels, inns, and bed & breakfasts.
While gracious adobe architecture gives Canyon Road its old world charm, diversity is its claim to fame. More than a hundred galleries, jewelry stores, clothing boutiques, home furnishings shops, artist studios, and gourmet restaurants line this magical half-mile.
As a collector, whether you prefer art that is contemporary, abstract, modern, expressionistic, figurative, photorealistic, digital, traditional, western or Native American, it’s all here. Galleries showcase paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and encaustic, fine-art photography, graphics such as lithographs, serigraphs, archival digital reproductions, woodcuts, engravings, and monotypes, as well as sculpture in stone, bronze, wood, and glass.
