Description
"Canyon Road Artist's Chair and Easel, Sante Fe, New Mexico" by Catherine Sherman
A paint dabbed canvas sits on a colorful chair while an easel awaits an artist's new canvas on Canyon Road, the art district in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Everywhere you look in the Canyon Road area, you'll find art. Even on the street! The adobe wall is typical in the area, enclosing a courtyard. An apple tree blooms pink within the walls.
There are more than a hundred art galleries and studios exhibiting a variety of art, including Native American art and antiquities, historical and contemporary Latino art, regional art, international folk art, and contemporary art.
Canyon Road is a long, narrow road that leads to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It runs parallel to the Acequia Madre ("mother ditch"), an irrigation ditch dating back to 1680. Before the Spanish arrived, the road was a footpath between the Santa Fe River Valley and Pecos Pueblo.
Canyon Road was once a primarily residential neighborhood. Houses built in the Pueblo Revival style, in accordance with the local Spanish Colonial and Pueblo methods were constructed with adobe walls and courtyards, often as compounds for extended family.
