November 22, 2019: Returning for a third consecutive year, the Artists in Residence program brings art to life for travelers to Santa Fe, New Mexico, now through February 29, 2020. Varying artists will be on-site working on their craft every Friday and Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m., with some locations also hosting the artist on Thursdays and Sundays. Through this unique opportunity, visitors can meet several artists in-person as they create their masterpieces and experience the artists’ creative processes’ and abilities.

There are currently Five hotels and three galleries participating in the Artists in Residence program. Each location’s schedule of artists will vary, and artwork will be available for purchase on site when the artist is present.

“We know that the arts, from visual to performing, is one of the main drivers for visitors to our beautiful city and the Artist in Residence program is designed to elevate the arts experience to the next level for travelers,” said TOURISM Santa Fe Executive Director Randy Randall. “We love when visitors tour our museums and shop in the galleries, but this opportunity allows for the experience to go beyond that and for the visitor to make connections with some of Santa Fe’s top art talent.”
