New Mexico's arts scene covers a broad range of expression, mediums, schools, styles, and histories, and is a good part of what makes New Mexico's quality of life so very rich. Most people are aware that the capital city of Santa Fe is the fourth largest art market of America - what most people don't know is that the rest of the state has a lot going on in the fine arts, photography, music, dance, concerts and theater as well.

While many new arrivals to the state come for the ephemeral qualities like light and air that enhance the creative process, people who have literally been here for centuries have their own artistic expressions that they continue to use to make beautiful artifacts with. All of these forces - traditional and contemporary, historical and cutting-edge, as well as Native American, Hispanic, and Northern European - combine to create the complex tapestry of today's New Mexico art scene.
