TOP 10 ON CANYON ROAD
'One of the best contemporary art galleries and a truly fascinating sculpture garden.' - Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide for Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque.
A vibrant art scene, predominately contemporary and historic Southwestern, draws art buyers and visitors from around the world to Canyon Road. The street often takes on a festive air as people stroll its length, visiting the galleries, enjoying sculpture gardens and flower-filled spaces. Much of the art is high quality and priced to match, though some galleries offer affordable works for the new collector.
THE ART AND SOUL OF SANTA FE
Canyon Road began as a Native American trading trail along the Santa Fe River. The Spaniards used it bring firewood from the mountains into Santa Fe to sell in Burro Ally. Later, small adobe houses and farms were built along the road. In 1920, a group of young artists, "Los Cinco Pintores", built homes just off of the road to "bring art to the people". Today, some 80 galleries along "The Art and Soul of Santa Fe" attract visitors with their wealth of traditional and contemporary fine art.
