There are over six million dollars of art work hanging on several floors of walls. Most of the art work was produced by creative New Mexico citizens. Our favorite is the “Buffalo Head” by Holly Hughes made of recycled materials. It is quite unique.

It is a place where people can over-look while visiting Santa Fe, as the entire area is a collection of art and galleries. This one is well worth your time to visit.
