Simply put, the Jackalope is a home and gardening shop. Pretty ordinary, right? Well it's not as ordinary as it sounds! Darby McQuade founded the store in 1976 as a way to share his experiences as a globetrotter, and since then it has become "the spot" in Santa Fe for purchasing garden necessities and authentic home decor from places such as Mexico, India, Thailand, Bali, Africa, China and Egypt. Among the collection of items for sale, you will find international folk art, pottery sculpted from clay that's from a specific world region, handmade furniture and much more. The popular gallery and shop combo attracts more than 900,000 visitors annually. When you stop by make sure you take a picture with the iconic Jackalope statue outside!

 

What is it about New Mexico's capital that makes is so magical, and such a hotbed of artists, artistic expression, and the creatively divine? This, the 2nd oldest city in the US, is also a UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Arts. While much of the artwork in the region has been influenced by old Native American and Spanish traditions, newer artists have also contributed to the city's creative hotbed. Starting with the historic Pueblo-style style architecture lining the streets of the city, you'll be able to fill your senses with art and inspiration in any of the over 200 galleries across town. It's hard to choose favorites in a city so ripe with creative energy, but here are four interesting places to experience the art of Santa Fe!
