Sure, New Mexico touts an artisan community that rivals any community in the world. That's a pretty…read moreobvious statement. We have Santa Fe, the "City Different", home to painters, sculptors and other artists the world over who thrive (even in a recession), and the town houses its share of artists who practice artisan athletics, music, meditation, what have you. We have Taos and the surrounding communes, wherein you'll find celebrated maestros, architects and off-the-grid nomads; if you haven't driven west toward the gorge, put it on your travel to-do list, you won't be disappointed. Key word: earth ships. Silver City: artisan hideout. Same goes for Tularosa, Cloudcroft, Los Ojos, Red River, Jemez, Zuni, San Antonio... I could go on and on. These are the sneaky peeks, the places where funky personas with wild ideas relocate, where they can live in relative calm, bask under endlessly open skies, where they often create grand visionary works that encompass the entirety of their lifetime journeys. O'Keefe did the same at Ghost Ranch. Personally, I love bumping into a gallery or a store along my travels, where these fascinating people will find a few minutes for some straight talk about their work. I've found them in corners of the state I never imagined they could exist, but they do, they persist, and I'm always thrilled to find them. I often wonder how they survive. Surely, selling the occasional canvass to the wandering traveler won't pay the rent. Enter Mariposa, a gallery in the heart of Nob Hill which showcases 90%+ local artists. Paintings, mixed-media and a smattering of jewelry provide welcome access to some of the most vital artists in the New Mexico realm. This place focuses on artists who remain just below the radar, who could use a little financial backing. The business has grown with time, changing locations twice, and over the years they've developed a long list of artists who've benefited from their publicity and advocacy and now give back, promoting the next generation. Fantastic. You don't have to visit with the intent of a purchase. Come and devour with your eyes. You won't forget it.

The gallery is small but super contemporary. It features the work and life of Judy Chicago…read more They welcomed us warmly and explained a bit about the concept and background of the gallery and then they let us roam alone. It is the first time that I visited this gallery. I stopped by with the intention of going to see the exhibition at the Womanhouse and I could not be sure (I did not ask either) if they rotate or change the gallery's exhibition. Next time you visit Belén, make a quick stop here! It shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to walk around the gallery if you stop to read the texts and look what to shop.

Very nice gallery in Madrid, they do sell a bit of everything, sculptures, paintings, various…read moreartists and styles. The decor is nice, they even have a cool display outside, the whole facade is renovated in great taste. The customer service is good, the lady working here was very welcoming, prices are high, but it's a great place to check out some art, take a break, cool off it's hot outside. Indigo Gallery is in the middle of downtown, you won't miss it!

A great gallery featuring works by Jill Schwaiko as well as other artists from New Mexico…read more Beautiful pieces. The originals paintings by Ms Schwaiko are all expensive (for us) but the prints are much more reasonable and reachable. The person we were visiting in NM had a print and it is stunning. I loved the sculptures the most. Small as well as some quite large ones displayed in the back garden. We picked up a small sculpture that we could not resist. Jane Cassidy, an artist whose work is displayed in the gallery as well, was very gracious and friendly to us. She showed us around the gallery and spoke about Jill's work extensively. We did not know she was one of the artists having a work displayed there until I mentioned how much I liked a piece in the window on the way out of the gallery, LOL. A piece that was very tempting as well. Madrid is well worth a visit if you are in NM, and the Indigo gallery should definitely be visited.

My wife and I have always admired the Burro's along Hwy 54 through Carrizozo. After 14 years of…read moreliving in the region we decided to find out where to get one. Well... Gallery 408 is the place! We have never been off of Hwy 54 as we always just pass through going somewhere. Little did we know there are some neat places to see here. Pia was just a super host showing us the Gallery and Burro's. A very unique gallery with all kinds of different items. From pottery to paintings to jewelry to Burro's and stuff in between. Just turn right on 5th St if your coming from the south (Alamogordo) before Hwy 380 or left from the north after Hwy 380 off Hwy 54, hit 12th Street and enjoy!

Very cool art gallery. We went twice, the first time just to check out the paintings and the second…read moretime we went because they were having a special artist feature event with an artist whose work was being featured in the gallery. Absolutely loved his work and thought it was so interesting to hear from him in person about what inspired him, his creative process and highlights of his life as a painter. Not sure if the woman working there was the owner but she was so sweet and seemed really passionate about art and was great to talk to.
