One of
the world’s largest art hubs, Santa
Fe, New Mexico is elevating the art experience through
the Santa Fe Arts
Festival, which features a series of interactive
events that not only celebrate art, but are designed to educate and engage. Two
of the festival’s staple events are the Canyon Road Paint Out and Art Matters |
Santa Fe, which both focus on artist and visitor interactions. Additional
details are below:
Canyon
Road Paint Out, October 18-19
A Santa Fe tradition, the
public is invited to mingle as 100 artists take their work outdoors and paint
along historic Canyon Road. The event celebrates and honors a tradition of painting
“en plein air” that began over a century ago on this narrow trail leading to
Santa Fe from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. More than just painting, artists
will be working in a variety of forms including sculpting, weaving, carving and
jewelry making. The event is free to the public and takes place Friday, 5:00
through 8:00 p.m. with gallery openings, artist receptions and interactive art
exhibits. Festivities continue Saturday beginning at 10:00 a.m. through 5:00
p.m. For more information, visit www.visitcanyonroad.com. Photos of the Paint Out.
