WHAT IS ART SANTA FE?
Art Santa Fe is an intimate contemporary fair that welcomes world-class art and design presented by a diverse range of regional, national, and international exhibitors. In a city with a robust arts climate, the three-day fair provides a unique opportunity for galleries, dealers, established collectives, and solo artists to showcase cutting-edge fine art, decorative art, and design. Celebrating our 23rd anniversary in 2023, Art Santa Fe is known for its exceptional presentation, with a curated selection of exhibitors presenting for sale one-of-a-kind works in a gallerystyle venue.
“THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF ART SANTA FE 2022! I LEARNED THE DYNAMICS OF THIS YEAR IN LIGHT OF COVID AND I THINK REDWOOD BROUGHT BACK WHAT SANTA FE NEEDED. AND IT MAKES SENSE THAT IT WILL ONLY GROW NEXT YEAR AFTER THINGS ARE MORE OPENED UP! I THINK THIS YEAR WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE SLOW FOR WHAT ART SANTA FE USUALLY ATTRACTS, BUT FROM WHAT I SEE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU RECAPTURED SANTA FE’S ATTENTION QUITE WELL SINCE THE PANDEMIC!
2 FAIRS | ONE VENUE
Art Santa Fe is two fairs under one roof. Here’s a closer look at what makes each pavilion within Art Santa Fe unique.
ART SANTA FE GALLERY PAVILION
The Art Santa Fe Pavilion features wellestablished galleries, art publishers, and artist collectives. It’s why thousands of industry insiders in search of cutting-edge contemporary art and design from galleries worldwide flock to Santa Fe each July.
THE [SOLO] PAVILION
After its successful launch in 2018, the [SOLO] Pavilion is officially incorporated into this iconic art fair. The [SOLO] Pavilion is the ultimate venue for independent artists, fine art photographers, functional object artists, and designers to be discovered—not only by gallery owners and art dealers but also by collectors and enthusiasts in search of exciting new works.
Together, Art Santa Fe and the [SOLO] Pavilion offer collectors, gallery owners, art dealers, designers, and shoppers the unique opportunity to connect with blue-chip galleries and emerging artists—all under one roof.
