Please go to www.santafeproperties.com and look for ArtFeast Info to learn more and obtain a map and a brochure.

The homes you’ve built in your imagination are available for viewing on two afternoons. The seven outstanding residences illustrate a variety of architectural and design styles and range from intimate enclaves to grand estates. This year the tour will focus on properties in Las Campanas, just minutes from downtown Santa Fe on the city’s northwest side. While touring the homes, stop by the Clubhouse for tea and refreshments. The Clubhouse event is held from 2 to 4 pm each day of the home tour.

Artworks supplied by Santa Fe’s galleries enliven these exquisite residences. Gallery owners, artists, and/or staff will be on hand to tell you about the artwork, and any purchases made during the weekend will return a 10 percent donation to ARTsmart. Open to the Public.

2010 is the year we have been waiting for; the year we have long been looking forward to. This is the year we are going to make positive changes in our own lives and behavior. This is the time we planned to help others get along and get in shape and back up our files and repaint our bathrooms and lose weight and learn about something new and stop smoking and get in touch with those we have not talked with in years. Today is the day to make the improvements you want to make. Here is the place you chose for those things to take place. 2010 is full of promise and there is no reason it can’t be our/your best year ever. While you or I or anyone climbs to the top, please remember to help someone else along; give them some hope or kind words or direction or lend a hand. Helping others helps us too.
