SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, March 15, 2019: The month of May 2019 has been designated "Sculpture Month" on Santa Fe's historic Canyon Road by the Canyon Road Merchants Association with a month of events focused on the medium, culminating in gallery sculpture and garden tours on Memorial Day weekend, May 25-26, 2019.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, galleries will present various sculpture-focused programs and presentations including demonstrations and discussions by sculptors about processes, developing design ideas for large-scale sculpture in site-specific settings, finishes, the lost wax process and more. During the same weekend, visitors will have the opportunity to stroll through the many beautiful sculpture gardens of participating galleries.
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. Check VisitCanyonRoad.com for more information.
Christopher will be the featured speaker for the closing Symposium from 1 - 3 p.m in Burris Hall, Lecture Room 129. We hope you can join us!
