In a world that continuously reinvents itself, Santa Fe’s Canyon Road is no exception. While it may outwardly look the same (thanks to the Historic Districts Review Board), in the last couple of years, a few more dining options have cropped up, allowing visitors and local residents to grab a quality meal without having to get in their cars. More importantly, the evolution of the art world has reached Canyon Road. While there are still lots of traditional art galleries, there’s been a movement toward more collectible and more contemporary art. This is a direct reflection of the art world as a whole and speaks to the quality of the dealers on Canyon Road. Today Canyon Road has an excellent selection of galleries and shops, where you’re sure to find your next special treasure. Contemporary, traditional, and historical artwork fills these charming structures and former homes. Restaurants with national reputations are housed in extraordinary and historically significant yet understated buildings. Canyon Road is an evolving street with a friendly personality, where gallery and shop owners welcome an adoring audience of visitors. In the last several years, a welcome addition to the Canyon Road experience has been the wonderful events that build on the area’s history. I especially encourage you to experience the Passport to the Arts event in May, the Paint Out in October, and the Farolito Walk on Christmas Eve, which fills even a Scrooge like me with the holiday spirit.

shopping hot spot

GABRIELLA Marks

Canyon Road is world famous for its abundance of artwork, but it has many other goods on offer as well. Independent shops abound, befitting the City Different’s origin as a trading post. You can spend a full day walking the length of the street, buying art for your home—from paintings to pottery to sculptures—or choosing the perfect ’one-of-a-kind gift for family and friends. Stop into one of the unique jewelry stores for handcrafted, locally made adornments, whether it’s a turquoise-embellished silver concho belt or a custom-made gold and diamond ring. Or check out the chic, sophisticated Western wear and high-end home furnishings on offer here as well. Beautifully made textiles (from clothing to tapestries) are also among the many popular items you’ll find while walking the length of one of the most famous shopping destinations in the world. cr

the art of eating well Canyon Road offers everything from fine dining restaurants to casual cafés esidents of the City Different use the ultimate compliment to describe the restaurants on Canyon Road: “so Santa Fe” is what they often say. But not only are the restaurants indicative of the area’s unique charm and hospitality, they’re also ranked among some of the best fine-dining establishments in the country, with chefs earning accolades from the likes of the James Beard Foundation and Bon Appétit magazine, and eateries winning AAA Four Diamond and Forbes Four Star awards. The gastronome and art lover will find Canyon Road dotted with places to feed both body and soul. To be sure, the culinary delights are as tempting as the art on display, because, simply put, Canyon Road makes an art of dining. You can pamper your palate with comestibles ranging from sprightly gourmet teas to succulent elk tenderloin, from French roast coffee and pastries to Oregon pinot noir and Spanish tapas. Hungry for history and the plato del día? Try small plates of grilled octopus and shrimp on the cozy back patio of an 1835-era adobe while local flamenco dancers swirl around you. Or sit on the front portal and let Canyon Road’s passing parade of pedestrians be your entertainment. You can also visit a mid-20th-century eatery nestled in a cluster of homes, while a serene example of Santa Fe’s outdoor dining, secluded behind high walls and leafy trees, tempts with a high-end menu featuring salmon, striped bass, and Muscovy duck. The epicure will find no lack of earthly delights here. No matter what your tastes or taste buds crave, Canyon Road is a well-chosen spot for all things artistic, and a gastronomic must. cr

“The Compound Restaurant began in 1966, long before most of the galleries were here and Canyon Road was like it is now. We were a draw for the galleries back then. Now it means that almost every Saturday we’ll have guests from the United States, Japan, Australia, United Kingdom—from anywhere—walk in for a table. We depend on Canyon Road to lead people to us. And we never forget that.”

“Canyon Road is less than a mile of many unique voices. Each of more than 100 galleries is independently owned, with each owner looking for artists with unique perspectives of beauty and poetry.

“I love being in the 225 compound on Canyon Road. I have ‘lived’ here almost every day for 25-plus years and it is an extraordinary place to do business. Canyon Road has a long and welldeserved reputation as the ‘art and soul’ of Santa Fe, and that means a lot to anybody’s business.”

Canyon Road events Canyon Road’s combination of history and culture allows visitors to enjoy a unique experience year-round, but on certain days the legendary art district’s offerings are even more noteworthy than usual. Exhibition openings, often celebrated on Friday evenings, are a Canyon Road staple. Many galleries schedule them on the fourth Friday of every month, and those “Fourth Fridays” can be particularly lively. Galleries welcome guests to take in their latest shows as well as their permanent collections, usually while offering light refreshments and sometimes live entertainment, too. For a comprehensive schedule of gallery openings, visit santafeancalendar.com. In spring, Passport to the Arts (May 8–9), a public art event, offers crowdfriendly fun like an Artist Quick Draw competition and a live auction, and many galleries and shops host artist receptions, demonstrations, trunk shows, and live music. Proceeds go to Santa Fe Public Schools’ music programs. (visitcanyonroad.com) During Santa Fe’s busy summer season, the annual ARTfeast festival presents its Edible Art Tour (June 12–14). Visitors and locals stroll between galleries, where they take in art while enjoying food from top restaurants. Proceeds support arts education programs for Santa Fe’s youth.

where art and history meet how Canyon Road achieved its distinctive identity

Gabriella Marks

I “Art is subtle, tactile, personal—there is joy in physically connecting with it. Canyon Road is a place where the overwhelming number of quality galleries creates a unique destination that draws a broad cross section of collectors. It’s an unequaled environment to buy, sell, discuss, collect, and enjoy art.”

t’s hard to imagine one of Santa Fe’s artistic epicenters as a dirt path running along the river into the mountains, but over time Canyon Road has evolved from a familyoriented farming area into a vibrant and internationally known art district. One of the key factors in this development has been Santa Fe’s long history as a center of trade. “An art community that settles in a trading center is going to have a very distinctive feel, with very vital art,” says historian Elizabeth West, editor of the book Santa Fe: 400 Years, 400 Questions. “It’s going to bring in new ideas, and the people who stay and contribute artistically are going to be much more interesting.” One person who stayed and made an indelible mark was the Portuguese-born photographer and painter Carlos Vierra, Santa Fe’s first resident artist. Vierra, like many others, came to Santa Fe for health reasons, seeking treatment for tuberculosis at Sunmount Sanatorium in 1904. Sunmount’s treatment philosophy contended intellectual stimulation was a key element in curing TB. In the interest of revitalizing body and soul, the sanatorium hosted lectures by literary luminaries such as Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost, and Santa Fe poet and bon vivant Witter Bynner. According to West, “Bynner knew everybody in the world,” from Rita Hayworth to Ansel Adams. “[Santa Fe] really didn’t become an artist community until the time of Carlos Vierra,” says West. “Then word spread, and one thing led to another.” One of those things was the railroad, which, in the decades after its arrival in town in 1880, transported artists here from across the country. A rise in plein air painting, popularized by the Impressionists, inspired painters to trade their urban studios for outdoor inspiration. Santa Fe’s unique charm and high desert light made it a magnet for artists, and Canyon Road became a desirable place to live because “it was safe, easy, inexpensive, and beautiful,” West says. One of Canyon Road’s early artist/settlers was commercial lithographer Gerald R. Cassidy, who came west in 1915 to seriously pursue painting. Cassidy and his wife Ina first visited Santa Fe in 1912. Three years later, entranced with the area and its Native population, they bought a house at the corner of Canyon and Acequia Madre. The couple thoroughly remodeled their home, expanding it to showcase altar paintings from a ruined Nambé mission church.

Their neighbors included New York artist Randall Davey, who in 1919 bought a sawmill at the end of Upper Canyon Road that today is home to the Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary. Indiana native and celebrated muralist Olive Rush moved to Santa Fe shortly after Davey, residing in what’s now the Quaker Meeting House. Santa Fe painter Jerry West, son of the late artist Harold West, recalls spending part of his childhood with Rush, who had orchards on her property. “When I was a kid in 1942,” Jerry says, “I’d work for Olive on the weekend and help her with her gardens.” Through most of the 1950s, Canyon Road remained primarily residential, hosting just a handful of businesses—four of which were grocery stores. “There were hardly any galleries before then,” Jerry recalls. A creative atmosphere had already begun to emerge on the street, but it gained significant momentum in 1962, when the street was officially designated “a residential arts and crafts zone,” which meant that artists living on Canyon Road could now sell work from their homes. The number of businesses on the street began to rise, and, not surprisingly, many of them were arts-related. Modern-day Canyon Road is a narrow lane boasting old adobes that house an eclectic mix of galleries, shops, and restaurants. In 2007, the American Planning Association named Canyon Road one of the 10 “Great Streets in America,” noting that “the buildings themselves are works of art—doors and gates all painted in rich shades of turquoise, purple, red, and yellow.” In 2013, Canyon Road finished second in a USA Today poll of readers’ “Favorite Iconic American Street.” According to an early 1900s piece in The Santa Fe New Mexican, archaeologist and anthropologist Edgar Lee Hewett, who founded the Museum of New Mexico, said that “the arts have kept Santa Fe from becoming an ‘up-to-date’ burg and made it unique and beautiful. Artists and writers constitute only a small percentage of the population, but their influence is everywhere you look.” Nowhere is that influence more visible than on Canyon Road. cr

state of the art Canyon Road’s creative legacy

visitcanyonroad.com

hen 17th-century Spanish settlers used burros to haul firewood from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to customers in Santa Fe, they could never have known that the little backwater would become a world-class destination—thanks largely to a vibrant arts scene that would emerge here in the early 1900s. Today the city is home to a large number of accomplished creative talents. Boasting the third largest art market in the country, Santa Fe ranks among the world’s major cultural metropolises—an accomplishment that’s particularly impressive given that the city’s population numbers around 80,000 people. The strength of Santa Fe’s artistic soul is especially evident on Canyon Road, a half-mile stretch that winds into the shadowy folds of forested mountains and was once the route for those Spanish settlers and their loyal if not overburdened burros. With its dense assemblage of more than 100 art galleries—plus shops, restaurants, and historic adobe homes—Canyon Road is a draw for locals, tourists, and art collectors from around the world. In this quaint enclave, visitors can enjoy a broad range of work, from Native American pottery and Spanish Colonial–inspired wood carvings to contemporary sculpture, photography, and abstract paintings. At a handful of galleries, visitors can check out works by early-20th-century artists like Carlos Vierra, Gerald R. Cassidy, Theodore Van Soelen, John Sloan, and Randall Davey, whose depictions of the area’s natural beauty and rich cultural traditions put Santa Fe and Canyon Road (where many of the artists lived, worked, and congregated) on the map in terms of its importance as an art destination. Throughout the year, Canyon Road hosts gallery openings that showcase exciting exhibitions and typically include refreshments and live entertainment and sometimes artist demonstrations and discussions. The storied and picturesque road further comes to life during the annual Canyon Road Paint Out (held in October), when roughly 100 artists take to the street to set up easels and turn their creative process into an interactive experience between them, the viewer, and the one-of-a-kind setting. cr

anyon Road’s creative and artistic legacy is celebrated during Passport to the Arts, an annual public event held May 8–9 along the famous half-mile-long street. More than 100 artists from around the country—whose styles range from abstract to figurative and from traditional to contemporary— make the event, presented by the Canyon Road Merchants Association (CRMA), the unofficial kickoff to Santa Fe’s high art season. “Passport to the Arts celebrates the process of creating art while erasing any fence drawn between the public and the artists,” says CRMA secretary Nancy Leeson, owner and director of the gallery Canyon Road Contemporary Art. “The tradition of live art has always been what sets Canyon Road apart from other districts.” On May 8, in addition to the usual Friday-night show openings (which are typically accompanied by refreshments and often live music and entertainment as well), galleries will host artist demonstrations, lectures, and other goings-on. That evening and the following day, you can also bid on artwork that will be included in Passport to the Arts’ silent auction. An Artist Quick Draw kicks things off on May 9. During the two-hour event, 70 Canyon Road artists take to the street, rain or shine, to complete an original work while spectators look on—giving both locals and visitors a chance to experience Santa Fe’s plein air tradition firsthand. You can then head to Wiford Gallery & Sculpture Garden for a cocktail reception, which will feature live entertainment by student musicians, followed by a live auction of artworks representing a variety

of styles and mediums. (A portion of the auction’s proceeds will go to student music programs.) Bruce Adams, publisher of Santa Fean magazine, will serve as auctioneer. “A passport is traditionally associated with traveling the globe, but, more importantly, it allows one to expand his or her mind through varied experiences,” says Bonnie French, CRMA president and director of Waxlander Art Gallery & Sculpture Garden. “Here on Canyon Road, Passport to the Arts honors local, national, and international artists, and nestled within the galleries are paintings and sculptures by these same groups of artists. . . . Combined with the rich history and congeniality of the road, any visitor can get the feeling of world travel while staying in the heart of Santa Fe.” For artist and bidder registration information, as well as a detailed schedule of events and general information about Passport to the Arts and the Canyon Road Merchants Association, go to visitcanyonroad.com. cr

Chris Corrie

visitcanyonroad.com

anta Fe’s unique aesthetic is vividly on display along its world-famous thoroughfare, Canyon Road. During the half-mile walk from the road’s top to bottom, you’ll encounter simple adobes that have roots in Pueblo Indian architecture and that sometimes reveal Territorial-style updates on that original Native design. Canyon Road winds up the Santa Fe River to the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, eventually forming a steep-sided canyon. That terrain offered little flat land for settlement, but the nearby river, via the abutting acequia madre (“mother ditch”), supplied precious water for farming. A few Spanish Colonial farmers homesteaded in the middle 1700s along a burro track just wide enough for a wagon. They built what we today call Pueblo-style homes, using local materials—mud, stone, and timber—and incorporating a few lessons learned from the neighboring Pueblo Indians. As you walk along Canyon Road you’ll pass several examples of these originally plain homes. In addition to being constructed out of mud, the homes were also distinctive for protruding beams known as vigas, which sat below shallow parapets and flat roofs. Deep-set windows with plaster-wrapped, bullnosed corners punctuate rippling, lumpy adobe walls that sometimes run four feet thick. A building (now a shop) at the lower end of Canyon Road illustrates this Pueblo style, although its simple, lintel-capped, post-and-viga portal hints at an update to the original house. An early-1700s home on Canyon Road demonstrates a subtle evolution, its blue window framing and lintels evoking the Territorial style. That mid-19thcentury aesthetic reflected New Mexico’s

“I most love Canyon Road for its diversity, its lack of uniformity, and its strength of character. It’s a special place that honors the artist in a cookie-cutter world.

new status as a U.S. territory, revealing Army design influences. Over time, the Territorial style incorporated increasingly available manufactured materials like fired-clay bricks and milled lumber. Many people simply added ornamentation to the existing Pueblo-style buildings, and newly built homes showed greater scale, made possible by the new materials and construction techniques. For a great example of Territorialstyle architecture, amble up the road to El Zaguán, where a settler built his farmhouse in the mid-18th century, and which now houses the Historic Santa Fe Association. Many remodels later, the home’s Pueblo roots show beneath an overlay of Territorial ornamentation, from wood shutters, crown molding over wood window framing, and a portal with white milled 8 x 8' posts. A periodperfect, pedimented lintel forms a shallow pyramid atop the framed entry door. Not far from El Zaguán, a lovely brick building capped with a white cupola demonstrates non-Native architecture that sprang up following railroad expansion

“I am so inspired and honored to be one of the few to carry on the tradition of working and living as an artist in a gracious, historic home and studio on Canyon Road.

With the trains came more AngloAmericans, manufactured materials, and East Coast influences. As a balance to this Americanization of the region’s look, legendary local architect John Gaw Meem reimagined the area’s original pueblos for public buildings, churches, and private homes in the early- to mid-20th century. In 1939, the Catholic diocese commissioned his masterpiece of Pueblo Revival architecture, the Cristo Rey Parish Church at Canyon Road and Camino Cabra. Built with more than 150,000 adobe bricks, the church remains one of the largest adobe structures in New Mexico. cr
