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 26th anniversary in 2026, 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.

Art Santa Fe was an opportunity to meet the artists and learn about their work in a more congenial setting than one typically experiences in a gallery.”

We loved meeting artists and gallery owners — and buying two beautiful pieces of art for our home. Art Santa Fe was a lovely presentation of many different types of art.”
