You could spend a couple of days here easy just taking your time to explore all the galleries in just a few main streets. There is decent variety with the underlining of southwestern theme of course. The number of the galleries have really high quality offerings - better and many museum. There are also plenty of places to take a break and have a snack or a meal. It you enjoy art you will enjoy this area. There is free 3 hour street parking if you can find it. Earlier in the day you will have better luck.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon going in and our of galleries that had exhibits of a variety of art genre, not just Southwestern and Native People's art. Spend some time viewing and chatting with staff....and stop in a local establishment for a meal, beverage or sweet.

The arts district has been a staple of Old Town for awhile. Unfortunately it has fallen on hard times on the south side of Main Street. The north side of Main Street features a number of prominent galleries featuring some of the best artists in the country. They seem to be doing quite well. On the south side of Main, there were a number of galleries which had closed up. There also seemed to be a distinct difference in the quality of the art. It is not totally so as there is still a gallery featuring fine bronzes and another featuring western art that is very good.
