    It was great meeting some new members! I'm afraid I don't have much patience wondering with a big group though. My sister and I took off and did my customary fly-through of the galleries I was interested in. It would be really great if this many people came to an opening reception so we could walk around and linger in one place longer.

    I regret I missed this. Work has a tendency to intrude sometimes. I look forward to the next meetup, especially if it focuses on technique.

    It was a bit crowded maybe because we got a later start, next time drinks and dinner afterwrods? Would of been nice to see all the art, most places people were in social hour drinking blocking the view. In the end I had a great time with the group.

    OK we will meet at Chile Rojo, its a Mexican restaurant right by the corner of 8th and Santa Fe. there is an outdoor patio that we can take over. We will LEAVE to walk around at 7:30. That means you can come at 6 and eat and drink or 7:29 just to walk that is up to you but if you get there at 7:31 we will be gone. So far everyone on the walks has walked right up to me so I must look a lot like my photo so you should not have trouble finding me on the patio. See you there.

    One mexican restaurant is good, and one has the absolute worst service I've ever experienced and I refuse to ever dine there again. I'm not sure what either is called, but the bad one I think is closer to the center of the Santa Fe galleries perhaps around 7th-9th ave, the good one is closer to 1st ave.

    Which Mexican restaurant are we meeting at? I think there are two. Or there were the last time I went.

Who attended?

  • 10 attendees
    • “ It was hard to keep a group of folks together for this kind of outing, but I had a lot of fun with the smaller group that I ended up going around with. I really liked that everyone was also an artist because everyone not only then knew alot about art but was very enthused about art. It's not very fun to look at art with folks who, when you ask them "so what do you think about that?", simply chug another glass of wine or mutter "I dunno" and promptly ask where the free cheese and crackers are. In contrast, I really like how everyone had an interesting opinion, for good or bad, about what we were checking out. Besides, Sante Fe Art Walk in the summer time is one giant party, so it's hard not to have fun. ”

      “ todays was really good, i was happy to meet all of yall ”
    • “ It was very crowded. At one point I did see a group by the front door and thought maybe it was a part of us but did not recognize anyone. Then the dozen or so of us immediately got split up once we started to move around. I managed to stay with a four others but it was very hard in the crowd. Its a shame because there were some very nice folks that I really wanted to spend some time with and couldn't ...maybe next time. We also may have made some progress as to how to find a good space for our own art show. We talked to a couple different people about that. ”
