The curvaceous, adobe-style architecture and undulating landforms of Santa Fe have inspired generations of artists. This insightful program has been tailor-made for the National Trust to focus on the art, architecture, and landscapes that make Santa Fe a “City of Enchantment.” Experience the charm of this historic capital city while strolling along the Canyon Road art district, visiting a local art collector’s home, exploring Georgia O’Keeffe’s home and studio and the nearby landscapes that inspired her, and going behind-the-scenes at the Santa Fe Opera.

Meet a local Native American artist and learn the history of his craft at the home of a local art collector.

A local guide leads a special visit of the landscapes of nearby Ghost Ranch that inspired O’Keeffe’s signature work. After a flavorful southwestern lunch, continue to the Santuario de Chimayo, an important site for the thousands of pilgrims who make the journey here each year.
