Search for Red Cell on Facebook and you’ll see a haggard face with sad, bitter eyes. A man beaten by life. This is not Red Cell. The tiny headshot of an anonymous, dustbowl prisoner stands in wry contrast to the genial visionary powerhouse himself. But controverting your expectations is stock-in-trade for the man behind The [...]

Step through the doors of Kakawa Chocolate House and the smell of chocolate is thick, voluptuous, almost musky. The downtown shop is tiny–just one room with an alcove–but with a charm both potent and engaging. A tiny kiva, Tibetan prayer flags and exhibits by local artists add color and warmth to the cosy rooms. The [...]

Great cities are defined by great art. We acknowledge the fact, profit from the spirit, but don’t necessarily involve ourselves with feeding our city’s vital arts character. Blessedly, in New Mexico, many do.

Paul’s persistent good nature, preternatural politeness, and highly attuned sense of responsibility made me want to know more about him. In time, I met Michael–gracious and [...]

In the heart of downtown Santa Fe’s South Capitol district, a Mad Scientist is stirring a cauldron of mind-spurring experiments and impressionable young minds to create a new generation of revolutionary thinkers.

Once a week, age-clustered groups of students gather to build electric motors, dissect plants, peer at small things through microscopes, [...]

As Nature digs into her annual cycle of reduction, reuse and recycling, Santa Fe is celebrating its own happy mash of Green and artistic sensibilities through several shows that reanimate the material dead. October 30th marked Meow Wolf’s opening for GEODEcedant, a massive, riveting installation of found objects hung in a delicate midair dance, as [...]

Sure, Santa Fe was crowned a UNESCO Creative City in 2005 (for folk art and design) and has apparent squatter’s right in the Small Cities category of American Style’s annual poll on the top 25 arts destinations.

Focused and prolific, Phillip has been a one-man band of production and promotion, furiously churning out work all the while gathering its audience. Less than a year later–three years since he began his career in earnest, he has scored the big score: a new home [...]
