Introducing Taste of the Arts Santa Fe

Great food and art are part of what makes Santa Fe feel like Santa Fe. Taste of the Arts brings them together in a small publication celebrating the people and places that give our community its character.

Our inaugural Santa Fe issue features a sampling of local restaurants, chefs, art galleries, and boutiques. Consider it an invitation to discover a new favorite, revisit a familiar place, and support the creative people behind both.

Taste of the Arts is funded by Santa Fe Foodies and connected to the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and New Mexico Foodies communities. This first issue is our small gift to the community and a gesture of support for the local businesses that help Northern New Mexico thrive.

Explore the issue below, then go see these places for yourself.
