2010 marks Santa Fe's 400th Anniversary, making it the second oldest city and the oldest capital in the U.S. The Native Americans first called this spot by a river home thousands of years before the Spanish discovered the area. America's expansion west brought more influences as East-Coast artists came to town in search of new inspiration. Today the city is an international art market filled with the work of artists of every type including American Indian, Spanish Colonial, and contemporary.

La Tienda at Eldorado and The Art Garden are proud to sponsor Against the Grain, a new and energetic exhibition featuring the works of 18 talented artists. The exhibition, led by Santa Fe artists Christopher Merlyn and Pablo Ancona, features original paintings, sculpture, photography, drawings and mixed media work by a range of accomplished and innovative artists.

Sole Mates: Cowboy Boots and Art celebrates the art of the West and views cowboy boots as important symbols of western life. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, postcards, advertisements, sculptures, video imagery, and of course boots. The images define changing aspects of the West, from 1880 to the present. The exhibition includes more than 130 objects and pairs of boots that investigate freedom, neliness, gender, fashion, allure and contemporary art.

The exhibition opens May 14, 2010 and runs through September 5, 2010.
