This Saturday, Santa Fe’s familiar stretch of road that boasts one of the most concentrated art collections in the country will transform into an outdoor studio for more than 150 artists. The Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out is a celebration of Canyon Road’s remarkable art, culture and history. Visitors to the street will have the artistic experience of watching paintings and sculptures come to life at the hands of some of the most prominent Santa Fe artists.

The event also honors the practice of painting “en plein air,” a style that took off in the

19th century when artists painted outdoors to capture the effects of natural lighting. Plein air artists have long been drawn to the Southwest’s natural scenic beauty and are responsible for shaping Canyon Road into the art community it has become. This weekend, Santa Fe galleries, artists and enthusiasts will celebrate this magnificent cultural history.

At the base of Canyon Road, Pippin Contemporary welcomes visitors to the Paint Out & Sculpt Out, inviting you to experience the creativity of painters Michael Monroe Ethridge and Cody Hooper. This event provides a unique opportunity for artists to include the viewer in their artistic process, and the equally exciting chance for the viewer to experience the art first hand. Come out and be a part of this exceptional event and celebrate the heritage of historic Canyon Road.

This year, we have a special surprise at 3:00pm in front of Winterowd Gallery and GF Contemporary at 701 Canyon Road. Don’t miss it!!
