Hanging the show

N°01 — Current exhibition Canyon Road, Santa Fe

A Santa Fe gallery for slow light & raw earth.

Arc & Ash shows contemporary painting, pit-fired ceramics, and photography made from this light — ten minutes' walk from the Plaza, on Canyon Road, since 2014. Admission is always free.

Slow Light — four studies in high-desert time

Mar 6 — Apr 18, 2026 Galleries 1 & 2 Free entry

The light in Santa Fe does not fall — it settles, the way plaster settles into burlap, the way ash settles into glaze. Slow Light brings together four artists who work at the speed of that settling.

Lindqvist grinds vermilion clay into her panels. Quintana fires with piñon behind the gallery. Begay waits whole afternoons for a single frame. Okonkwo dips linen into indigo until the blue nearly blacks out. Nothing here was hurried.

  • Anna Lindqvist — pigment & plaster
  • Marisol Quintana — earthenware
  • Theo Begay — photography
  • Wren Okonkwo — indigo textile
