SOFA West - Santa Fe

July 8th - July 11th


The second annual SOFA WEST: Santa Fe will be held at the state-of-the-art Santa Fe Convention Center. Sculpture Objects & Functional Art Fairs (SOFA) are premier gallery-presented art fairs like Art Basel and TEFAF Maastricht. Critically acclaimed and continuously running since 1994, what distinguishes SOFA from other top art events is its focus on 3-dimensional artworks that cross the boundaries of fine art, decorative art and design. With a strong educational emphasis, SOFA fairs include a lecture series and special exhibits exploring the artworks debuting at the fair by both established and emerging artists.
