SANTA FE RAILYARD DISTRICT The Santa Fe Railyard continues to be the City Different’s new hub of culture and activities. It includes the Farmers’ Market, a premium movie theater, shopping, restaurants, the museums and galleries of the Railyard Arts District, and a beautiful 20-acre urban park.
RAILYARD ARTS DISTRICT Part of the Railyard Santa Fe, the Railyard Arts District is the city’s contemporary-art destination. With eight contemporary art galleries and two—soon to be three—museums, all within walking distance of each other, the Railyard Arts District is an art lover’s paradise. The final Friday of each month is the District’s Art Walk, with galleries
open late with featured exhibitions. Visit santaferailyardartsdistrict.com for a complete list of galleries and events. VLADEM CONTEMPORARY The Railyard Arts District welcomes its newest neighbor, Vladem Contemporary, scheduled to open in late summer 2022 at the corner of S. Guadalupe Street and Montezuma Avenue. The new museum will bring cutting-edge technology and innovative new spaces for creating, learning, and appreciating contemporary art, and will further cement the District’s position as a contemporary-art destination. The new building, currently under construction, complements the historic downtown location of the New Mexico Museum of Art on the Santa Fe Plaza to create “One Museum, Two Locations.” In addition to 10,000 square feet of new exhibition space in two galleries, Vladem Contemporary will include an education center that can accommodate up to 100 people for an array of programming;
dynamic exterior video displays; a new artist-in-residence program; much-needed, state-of-the-art collections storage; and outdoor spaces for community gatherings. To get up-to-date information about Vladem Contemporary, and to be included in the gala opening celebrations, become a member of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation at museumfoundation.org/join/. 404 Montezuma Avenue nmartmuseum.org/vladem-contemporary EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS OF NOTE IN THE RAILYARD SITE SANTA FE The Railyard Arts District is anchored on the south end by SITE Santa Fe, a noncollecting museum of contemporary art.
