22nd Annual Placitas Studio Tour
Over sixty Placitas artists will open their doors and welcome guests to the fascinating spaces where the artwork takes shape. Come explore the many unique artist studios in the rolling foothills of the northern Sandias. Meet and talk directly with the artists about their work, their environment, and their latest creations. The tour offers a wide array of new arts and crafts at the studio locations. We love our magnificent views of the Sandia Mountains and the natural beauty of Placitas.
