Frozen sculpture at Wiford Gallery
Helene S.

Beautiful outdoor sculpture garden. Tucked off of Canyon Road, definitely worth a visit to see the kinetic works of art and the water features. Nice to walk through the garden on a clear blue morning and see the water features. Some of the water based art was frozen, while others had water percolating from the carved stones.

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and 'the winds' long to play with your hair" ~Khalil Gibran, The Prophet - Entering Canyon Road, one of the first galleries you come to is the Wiford Gallery featuring mystifying wind sculptures by internationally renowned sculptor Lyman Whitaker. Words that describe these wind sculptures are: Spellbinding Magical Kinetic Ethereal Ghostly Airy Celestial Intangible Sublime Mythical Enchanting These wind sculptures are completely captivating, making Wiford my favorite gallery on CR, and I'm going to buy one for the yard. Getting a Republican wind sculpture will shock my neighbors, but a shock might be good for them. - She's Like the Wind Song by Patrick Swayze "She's like the wind, Through my tree She rides the night Next to me She leads me through moonlight Only to burn me with the sun She's taken my heart But she doesn't know what she's done Feel her breath in my face Her body close to me Can't look in her eyes She's out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She's like the wind"

This gallery is tucked away on Canyon Road and has a beautiful outdoor display. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the wind sculpture garden makes soft sounds as the wind blows. There's even some rock chairs (I couldn't help but think about a stone age Professor X!), and some statues as well. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#HtvpkFtfQD0qHh2GAHsDMA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#6g2-9mUquEDYw8y9KHJTzg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#OieoXizb2MyJXxnYBmGb0Q http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#9zO7UAap0K131J595QZUPQ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#11R54dd-NoVSKi8HnNwnJw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#zOmnaYrbRRFLfhWvoDZrOg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#x_Gb6QEi4t7T-SjhXhtKBA The inside is full of oil pieces and crystal pieces (in addition to figurines and statues). The artists are truly talented, and my favorite part of the inside was definitely the crystal pieces (although there is a REALLY nice oil piece of some cowboys sitting around a fire). Check it out! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#gflw13Jh6BpZxRuB_ka9jg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#oFd3FE5w7eSOuzBA0-7PXg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wiford-gallery-santa-fe?select=AN0a1K5DBQVulZVJPh-SZA#wjBDXMss7hp510srAw65bA

wind harp
LINDA R.

You just HAVE to see the beautiful & wimsical wind sculpture garden in front of this gallery - a little walk in from the road. Awesome wind harps which make beautiful humming sounds with the wind. Fantastic place to sit on the most unique rock chairs with your map of galleries and a drink to soak up all the ambiance. Go into the gallery & pick up a brochure on all the scultpures & the price list & designs.

This is a smorgasbord of art galleries. At least 20 if not more. Very walkable and a restaurant…read morepositioned right in the middle if you need to stop and wet your whistle. I will say the galleries are colorful and full of beautiful art. But almost all the galleries were southwestern art. Think lots of flowers, desert scapes, animals and animal bones, some other forms of contemporary realism. Some jewelry shops. All free to enter of course. Great outing for most people, just not really my style.

I had heard of this area for years, but hadn't gone to Santa Fe to explore it. Well, now I've had…read morethe opportunity and only wish I'd have done it sooner. As an artist, art walks and art districts are my life. It's not only research; it's also a source of regular inspiration. Canyon Road was dazzling with inspiration. The color that spilled from the galleries, the statuary that peppered the walkways, the road is a visual mapping of creativity. The galleries offer everything from antiquities to modern art, jewelry to textiles, crafts to fine art, open studio spaces to showrooms available for appointment only. There is definitely a southwest-influenced throughline along Canyon Road, but it's also got an international flair. There is a reason it's gained a reputation as a cultural art hub. If you find yourself in Santa Fe or planning a trip there, it is worth scheduling a half day or more for the experience. This "roadside attraction" is guaranteed not to disappoint. The true value in places like this is getting a taste of what it is like to be a part of the area you're visiting.
