After reading an article in the July/August issue of art ltd. magazine, I started thinking more about the locus of artistic influence right now in Santa Fe. The article, titled “Santa Fe: The Good, the Bad, and the Undefined” brings up a lot of the same issues we’ve been thinking about in starting this blog. Along with cutting-edge local projects such as SITE Santa Fe and ART Santa Fe, the author talks about the Railyard District itself as a prime location for emerging artistic trends and galleries with refreshing new approaches and an inviting atmosphere for emerging artists. She points out that “Santa Fe is flourishing as Mecca for the arts, and—despite the ups and downs—is coming into its own as an internationally recognized destination for contemporary art.”
So with these hot new galleries across town has Canyon Road been relegated to a provincial backwater? There was not a single mention of Canyon Road in the entire 5-page article. That’s interesting.
