Santa Fe Gallery AssociationToday Santa Fe is one of the most important art centers in the United States, and 103 galleries that make up The Santa Fe Gallery Association feature artists of national and international renown. If you picture the art scene in Santa Fe as being only splendid Southwestern landscape painting and fine traditional Native American crafts, you’re in for a surprise. Today Santa Fe offers connoisseurs of fine art a sophisticated art experience with numerous galleries showing contemporary painting and sculpture, opening up a limitless horizon of artistic imagination. While there is an incomparable cultural mix -the historic Native American and Hispanic traditions - the fertile ground of natural beauty and the maverick spirit of early Twentieth Century artists made Santa Fe a vibrant art center for more than a century. A unique outlook flourishes here, cherishing the past while inviting exploration and inventive creativity that has blossomed into an extraordinary diversity of genres, mediums, and artistic styles. |
