Santa Fe Art Tours connects visitors and collectors with the art, artists, and neighborhoods that define New Mexico's creative culture. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the company curates both in-person walking tours and live virtual studio visits that highlight regional galleries, artist studios, and contemporary practices. On the ground, guided walking experiences include a two-hour tour of the Canyon Road Arts District and an Old Town Albuquerque art and history walk that visits studios and the Albuquerque Museum.
