Interactive art gallery and cultural tours in Santa Fe and Albuquerque

See stunning artwork and get the inside scoop on our vibrant local art scene

The best way to explore Santa Fe’s art scene

Our tours invite you to look at art in a new way while whisking you through Santa Fe's charming neighborhoods, hidden courtyards, off-the-beaten path art venues, and landmark museums and galleries.

You’ll discover the stories behind the work on view, pick up tips for looking at art with an inquisitive eye, chat with local artists, and experience Santa Fe through its thriving art scene.

Our tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the dynamic Santa Fe art scene with an art insider, so you’re guaranteed to see fascinating artwork and get more out of the gallery-going experience.

Here’s what makes our tours different:

  • There are over 200 galleries in downtown Santa Fe, so it’s a challenge to see them all during a short visit. Take one of our tours, and you’re guaranteed to see fascinating work.

    We select the galleries we feature on our tours based on several criteria including quality, curatorial vision, significance, and overall atmosphere.

    So if you’re not sure which galleries to hit while in town, no worries — we’ve got it covered!

  • Vibrant artwork, textured adobe walls, hidden courtyards, 300-year-old gallery spaces with creaky floorboards—exploring Santa Fe with us is a sensory experience!

    Our tours are interactive, engaging, and memorable. We like to create a sense of wonder to inspire you to keep exploring even after the tour is over.

  • Conversation is the cornerstone of our tours, from discussing the artwork in the galleries to chatting one-on-one with local artists and gallery directors.

    You’ll get tons of art historical tidbits and context, and you’ll think about what you are personally drawn to in a work of art.

    You’ll connect with art more deeply, hear the stories behind the work, and learn to interpret and understand art on multiple levels. (And yes, this goes for complete beginners as well as seasoned art enthusiasts and collectors!)

  • Don’t like the idea of being herded around as part of a big tour group? Neither do we.

    Our public tours are limited to 10 people, and for private groups of 15 or more, we have two guides available to make the experience more personal.

    Elaine goes above and beyond to guide. She is personable, knowledgeable, and exhibits such a sheer, authentic passion for the craft and history of art. Santa Fe literally has hundreds of galleries to explore. Without any guidance, it is challenging to know even where to begin. Due to her depth of knowledge, Elaine creates THE ULTIMATE art tour experience. I honestly can go on and on with praise. Please reach out to Elaine. You will love her!
