A Gallery of Photos: The Canyon Road Art Scene

"Outlook" by Jim Rennert.   (McLarry Modern)


Whenever I come to Santa Fe, I visit Canyon Road, said to be a mile long with a hundred art galleries.  It's a narrow road, mostly one-way, all in the town's pueblo-style architecture and featuring Native American pottery and silver, contemporary, abstract, figurative, and Western art, plus a goodly amount of indoor and outdoor sculpture. There are beautiful old cottonwood trees and tamarisk.  Ravens ... or are they crows? Shops selling clothing and textiles.  The Historic Santa Fe Foundation with a lovely garden in the summer.  A few casual eateries plus a couple of totally top-notch restaurants.

So it's always my pleasure to walk along Canyon Road during my visits and see what's new both inside and out.  Here are some photos of a few outdoor pieces.  (Gallery names are in parentheses.)
