Canyon Road, once a rural neighborhood of small farms scattered along an old Indian trail prior to the founding of Santa Fe in 1610, has evolved into a walkable art destination. More than 75 galleries occupy a mere half mile and offer work ranging from traditional realism and impressionism, to abstraction, expressionism, and contemporary realism. In addition to painting and sculpture, many galleries represent glass, ceramic, jewelry, and fiber artists, as well as historic and contemporary Native arts of the southwest.
The Canyon Road Merchants Association will sponsor four major events in 2019. In addition to Sculpture Month, May 10-11, is the 7th Annual Canyon Road Spring Art Festival, October 18-19, is the 12th Annual Canyon Road Paint/Sculpt Out and December 13, is the 3rd Annual Canyon Road Block to Block pARTy.
