It’s Finally Here – Our Move to Canyon Road
Here at Pippin Contemporary, we are ecstatic to announce our move to Canyon Road! We are working diligently to prepare for all the changes our new space will bring. Canyon Road is an internationally known art district; in fact what once began as a rural neighborhood of small farms has become an art Mecca. People travel from all over the world to see The Road’s first-class art offerings, and we are thrilled to soon be in the thick of it all.
The Evolution of The Road and Where We Fit in
The buildings that pepper Canyon Road were built in the Pueblo Revival style, designed to be compounds for multi-generational families, and the oldest of the structures were built as early as the 1750s. Our building has the warm welcoming appeal of a home with historic charm fit for displaying vibrant pieces of art. The uniquely southwestern architectural elements drew us in and we immediately envisioned art filling up the thick walls. We are thrilled to know the beautiful wooden floors will soon be filled with the footsteps of visitors from all walks of life seeking an experience that only Pippin Contemporary can offer.
Growing a Garden of Movement and Form
One of the things we’re most looking forward to is displaying our sculpture garden. It will be a stunningly bold contrast to the surrounding adobe. Our outdoor space will be filled with the progressive works of four brilliant sculptors: Greg Reiche, Nic Noblique, Jim LaPaso and Troy Pillow. From the intricacies of mechanics to the notion of aesthetic movement and emotion, each sculptor brings a niche take on sculpture as an art form.
You’re Invited to the Party of the Season
Our relocation party will not only be a celebration of where we’ve been and what lies ahead, but it will also be an evening featuring extraordinary art. You’ll have the opportunity to see the spirited abstracts of Eva Carter, the expressionistic and contemporary works of Jeff Schaller and much more. We are so looking forward to celebrating our relocation and second anniversary party with you on Friday, May 24, 2013 from 5-7:00PM at our new location on the corner of Canyon Road and Paseo de Peralta.
