Farrell Fischoff Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery in the heart of Santa Fe's Second Street Art District. The newly expanded exhibition space showcases paintings, works on paper, assemblage and sculpture from national and New Mexico artists. The gallery also offers selected modern prints by established European & American artists.
Bang! is a local, community-driven gallery, which has no permanent exhibition space. "We are willing to show unconventional--as well as traditional--artists who deserve recognition from the community to which they belong. Santa Fe needs an edge to hold on to its emerging artists," says founder and curator David Solomon. The gallery, conceived in 2005, was originally located at 717 Canyon Road, where, from January through September of that year, a new show opened almost every Friday, to rave reviews. After this run, Bang! left Canyon Road but continued to curate at other locations since then.
