Just
a few minutes south of the historic city of
Santa Fe is the village of Galisteo.
Centered in the magnificent
Galisteo basin, this all adobe village of some 250 residents
boasts of an incredibly diverse artist population.
These artists,
drawn by the natural beauty of our high desert surroundings
and breathtaking sunsets, have made Galisteo their home.
For
the past 22 years, these artist residents have participated
in one of New Mexico's
premier studio tours.
This annual event is virtually the only time the public is invited to tour the private studios and meet the artists that call this classic New Mexican Village home.
Much of the tour can be done on foot.
The ancient cottonwoods that line the Galisteo
River give portions of the tour a special ambiance found nowhere
else in New Mexico.
As you wind your way through the
many
studios
of Galisteo,
you'll see
photography,
paintings,
pottery and
ceramic art,
retablos,
jewelry,
bronze sculpture,
weavings,
many hand crafted local arts
as well as tasty local fare.
