Why buy, when you can DIY?
Art, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. For many, its the story behind
the piece, the technique or color scheme and often the artists themselves that
bring an art piece to life. DIY Santa Fe sets the stage for everyday artists to
experience this intrinsic connection firsthand in one of the most artistic cities in
the world. For more than 400 years, art has been a revered form of
communication, expression and unification in Santa Fe. Through DIY Santa Fe,
artists, both native and relocated, hope to share their passion and craft with
others and awaken their inner artist.
