Southwestern Allure: The Art of the Santa Fe Art Colony

Southwestern Allure:The Art of the Santa Fe Art Colony explores the development of Santa Fe as a haven for artists beginning in the early 20th century through the late 1930s.

The exhibition opens at the New Mexico Museum of Art April 25, 2014 and is on view through July 27, 2014.

Southwestern Allure celebrates the dynamic art scene that developed here in Santa Fe in the early 20th century as part of the explosion of artistic activity taking place in Northern New Mexico.  The origins of the New Mexico Museum of Art and these early 20th century art colonies are inextricably linked.
