Nice place to walk and visit numerous fine art dealers in a fairly small area. Some of the native american art was spectacular as where the prices (e.g., $22,000 for a small basket). But it costs nothing to look. Gallery owners were all very pleasant. Very pleasant way to spend an afternoon in Santa Fe.

Take time to chat with gallery owners! Ask lots of questions! Have a lite lunch at Café des Artistes. Wear comfy shoes! Bring your camera to take pics of many gorgeous pieces along the way!

Perfect stroll down shady winding street lined with art galleries. Really fun to see, but expensive to buy. Such creative people!

Not sure what I expected, but the galleries were all so professional, diverse and full of incredible works. I learned a lot, saw a lot and loved that you can art shop all in one area. A bit of overlad by the end of the day, but that was our fault;)

Canyon Road is an almost mile long street filled with perhaps a hundred art galleries. The sculpture one sees while walking along is breathtaking. And all other art genres are equally well represented. Locals told us that only one other place in the U.S. sells more art than Canyon Road: New York City! Unfortunately, "normal" people like us could not... More

Canyon Road stretches for about a mile, lined on both sides with the most diverse, mid-to-high end boutique art galleries you'll ever experience. Yes, Native American and Western themes are featured, but not exclusively. International work of high quality can be found here (also two of SF's top dining destinations, The Compound, and Geronimo).

Canyon Road was extremely interesting, unique, fun and inspiring! We barely touched the tons and tons of art galleries there, but thoroughly enjoyed the ones we did visit. Most everyone we came in contact with we're so nice, welcoming and curious about us! It was neat to meet so many different people from all over the world. People from California... More

Quaint, pretty area that I'm sure neither you nor I could ever afford. Cute shops, eclectic feel and beautiful adobe houses that are probably close to $1 million. Oh we'll, a gal can dream......

Whether you are into contemporary, traditional or old southwestern art, Canyon Road has something for everyone. The staff at the galleries were all so helpful and knowledgeable. We ended up spending most of the day there including lunch at The Compound which was one of our favorites!

The galleries on Canyon Road have the most gorgeous art concentrated in a few easy blocks. . . bring your lottery winnings! On Friday evenings it is delightful to nibble your way through the different galleries, and there are some places where you can find things for less than $100. Stop at a local cafe for a glass of wine... More
