Get lost in the inspiring world of Santa Fe

Santa Fe offers a visual feast for art lovers. With more than 250 galleries to explore, you'll be astonished by the city's array of art, including traditional and contemporary painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, textiles and more.

As you walk the city discovering one gallery after another along the legendary Canyon Road, around the Plaza, and in the Railyard Arts District you'll agree: art lies at the heart of Santa Fe. Wander the galleries of the New Mexico Museum of Art, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Spanish Colonial Arts, SITE Santa Fe, and many more.

Bandelier National Monument


Just a 50 minute drive from Santa Fe, Bandelier National Monument is an easy day trip (or half a day). Frijoles Canyon, where the monument is located, was home to the ancestors of the people of Cochiti Pueblo. Bring your camera and sketchbook; you will want to capture the unusual geological features that provided homes to the ancient inhabitants. Discover rock paintings, petroglyphs, and ruins as you wind your way through the park.

Georgia O'Keefe's Home & Studio in Abiquiu, NM


Steep yourself in the world of Georgia O'Keefe with a visit to her home and studio in Abiquiu, NM. The hour drive from Santa Fe takes you through the landscape that inspired O'Keefe--immense blue skies, sage brush dotted hills, and cottonwood trees. While in Abiquiu save time for drawing or painting the unique rock formations in Plaza Blanca. Stop at Bodes General Merchandise store for quirky gifts and postcards sure to make you smile. And walk the labyrinth at the lavender farm.


Artisan Art Supplies in Santa Fe carries Abiquiu palette oil paints.
