The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission is pleased to announce the first loaned art exhibit at Entrada Park! By the end of September, three artworks by area artists will be installed in the park for a one year period. At the end of the year, the loans may be renewed or new works placed in the park. We are pleased to finally see artwork displayed in the park following many years of hard work by the community and the City. For more information, please contact Debra Garcia y Griego, Senior Planner, City of Santa Fe Arts Commission at degarcia@santafenm.gov or via telephone at 505-955-6707. |
