Canyon Road
A historic street of less than one mile lined with more than a hundred galleries, sculpture courtyards and studios, and an important American art-market hub.
Canyon Road was originally a dirt road leading to Pecos. Artists began moving in during the early 20th century, and today more than one hundred galleries occupy the adobe buildings along the street. They offer everything from Indigenous art and Western oil paintings to contemporary sculpture, and the courtyards are filled with outdoor sculptures. Gallery opening receptions are often held on Friday afternoons. On Christmas Eve, the street is lined with paper-bag lanterns and bonfires. The climb is long, so it is about a 10-minute walk from the plaza to the entrance. The street has cafés, and there is also the Geronimo restaurant.
Opening hours
Most galleries 10:00–17:00
