Abiquiu Studio Tour
The Abiquiu Studio Tour is so much more than an event - It's a living, breathing tribute to the thriving art scene and vibrant colors of Abiquiu, New Mexico! This beloved tradition traces its roots back to the late '90s when a small group of local artists decided to open their studio doors and share their passion with the world.
Over the years, this humble gathering has blossomed into an institution showcasing proud local artists' diverse talents from this unique corner of the American Southwest. It's a three-day immersion into the heart and soul of Abiquiu's artistic spirit, and Santa Fe is the perfect place to base yourself to include a road-trip adventure! Our Santa Fe vacation rentals await you! You can find more details about this exciting weekend event, and donate directly to the organizers and artists at the Official Abiquiu Studio Tour Website.

Make an adventure out of it
Abiquiu is a place where nature's beauty and artistic creativity intertwine. Nestled amidst the rugged terrain of northern New Mexico, it offers a tranquil escape from the chaos of busy city life.
