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. Online offerings feature intimate studio visits and conversations with working artists and makers—installation artists, fiber artists, book artists, photographers, and encaustic printmakers—plus a mindfulness art workshop led by a licensed art therapist.
Each tour and studio visit emphasizes direct engagement: local guides share neighborhood history and gallery context during walking tours, while virtual sessions provide behind-the-scenes access to artistic processes and materials. Visitors learn about techniques, influences, and the research behind individual bodies of work, often with time for questions and dialogue.
Santa Fe Art Tours positions itself as a resource for travelers, collectors, and lifelong learners seeking informed, art-focused experiences. The mix of Canyon Road gallery access, Old Town history, and structured online studio visits offers multiple ways to explore Southwestern and contemporary art. Booking information, scheduling, and specific artist lineups are provided per experience, enabling guests to choose the format and focus that best match their interests.
