The Turquoise Trail Studio Tour- 2nd Weekend

The Turquoise Trail Studio Tour- 2nd Weekend
Join us for the Turquoise Trail Studio Tour on September 19-20 & September 26-27, where world-class art meets rugged adventure along the stunning Scenic Byway of the Turquoise Trail. This unique event invites you to explore historic mining towns and breathtaking landscapes while visiting talented artists in their natural habitats.

Discover a vibrant marketplace featuring painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramicists, fiber artists, glass artists, jewelers, and more. Launched in 2021 as a response to the Covid shutdown, this tour revitalizes the connection between artists and the community, celebrating the spirit and beauty of Northern New Mexico that has inspired generations, including renowned figures like Georgia O’Keeffe and Allan Houser.

The Turquoise Trail Association, formed in 2005, has helped preserve this artistic legacy, rooted in the traditions of the Native American artists of the San Marcos Pueblo. Experience the cerulean skies, red rock formations, and the rich cultural heritage that make this region a haven for creativity.

During the last two weekends of September, visit artists from Santa Fe, Cerrillos, Madrid, and Cedar Crest as they open their studio and gallery doors. Engage with them, observe live demonstrations, and collect a diverse array of eclectic artwork. Don’t miss this opportunity for an unforgettable adventure filled with art and inspiration!

Artists from Santa Fe, Cerrillos, Madrid, and Cedar Crest will have their studio and gallery doors open for your visit. Come see our beautiful landscape, meet the artists, observe demos, and collect our diverse and eclectic artwork. This is a studio tour of adventure!

Houses Of The Moon At Ten Thousand Waves

In the tradition of the Japanese ryokan, guests have a short walk from their rooms to the rustic spa, inspired by Japanese-style mountain hot spring resorts. The distinctive details in each of the 14 unique guest rooms and suites reflect Japanese simplicity, and many include courtyards, decks, a private Japanese garden and a kiva fireplace. Surrounded by 20 acres of piñons and junipers in high mountain wilderness, yet just ten minutes away from downtown Santa Fe, this is your choice for an easily accessible romantic vacation in an exotic destination.
