Corrales Art Studio Tour attendees will find a wide selection of fine art and beautifully crafted works for every taste and budget. Art in contemporary to representational and abstract styles in a variety of media including watercolors, oils, acrylics, photography and prints as well as works in clay, fiber, glass and metal will delight the senses at every stop.

“The Corrales Studio Tour is the perfect opportunity to connect with local artists, whether you’re a collector, art lover or simply looking for a fun weekend,” said Jenn Noel, Corrales artist and Corrales Society of Artists board president. “Come visit local galleries, studios, artists to get a peek into their creative process. With 93 talented artists participating in the tour this year, there is sure to be something you will love.”

This year’s featured art image is an acrylic painting by artist L. BaLoMbiNi titled “Auntie.”  “It’s always a thrill to have your artwork selected for publication; even more so when a jury of your peers selects your imagery to represent a group of over 90 artists and galleries for the 25th Annual Corrales Art Studio Tour,” BaLoMbiNi mused. “My painting ‘Auntie’ is a reflection of women in our families, now gone, whose joy, cooking, and stories are present in our own lives – and we thank them.”

Visitors to the Village of Corrales will find plenty of restaurants and several breweries plus out-of-town visitors can choose from several bed and breakfast establishments and vacation rentals.

View a sample of work by each participating artist at the Preview Gallery in the Old San Ysidro Church, 966 Old Church Road in Corrales, NM 87048. The Preview Gallery is open Friday, May 5 from 1 _ 4 p.m. and during tour hours: Saturday and Sunday, May 6 & 7, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

I was not sure why I had this unremitting need to know more about Alfred Morang. I had first seen his work painted on the adobe walls across … Read More
