Santa Fe is one of the most distinctive cultural destina-tions in America, featuring over 200 world-class art galleries, more than a dozen museums, a dynamic per-forming arts itinerary, and innovative, award-winning

cuisine. All of this can be found at the base of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains beneath the brilliant azure skies of New Mexico.

Proudly embracing over 400 years of a rich, multi-cul-tural heritage, Santa Fe is equally unique and rare in its enthu-siastic welcome of the new and exciting. The city holds the reputation as an eminent center for contemporary art, while traditional art continues to flourish. This may be the secret to Santa Fe’s enduring vitality and allure to worldly visitors and collectors for four centuries. The art scene in this small city is multi-dimensional and wide-ranging. Santa Fe became the first U.S. city to be chosen by UNESCO as a Creative City, one of only nine cities in the world to hold this designation. Art is not just busi-ness here; it is a way of life. Time spent here will likely transform your outlook on the art world, and possibly ignite your desire to make Santa Fe a regular travel destination.

In 1980 the Santa Fe Gallery Association was established; a profes-sional organization of the city’s foremost art galleries, museums, arts educational institutions, and other art-related businesses. As a vital part of the social and economic fabric of New Mexico, the Santa Fe Gallery Association promotes our creative community by advancing business, artistic, and educational endeavors, and remains on the cut-ting edge of technology. Our celebrated Friday Night Art Walks from to 7 p.m. provide great opportunity for full immersion in Santa Fe’s wonderful abundance of art while meeting artists, locals, and collec-tors. Please visit the Santa Fe Gallery Association calendar page on our website to see listed events.
