Abiquiu Chamber Music

Extraordinary chamber music as it should be experienced: in an incomparable natural setting overlooking the Rio Chama and close to the performers. Audience members become part of an intimate sharing of varied works for different mediums and are able to mingle and talk with the artists at the post-concert dinner “meet the Artists”. www.abiquiumusic.com

Georgia O’Keeffe – Home and Studio

Off dusty County Road 164 in the historic Village of Abiquiu is the home & studio of the quintessentially American artist Georgia O’Keeffe a major figure in 20th century American art (1887-1986).  The buildings, their immediate surroundings, and the views they command of mountains, mesas, cerros, and skyscapes inspired many of O’Keeffe’s best-known paintings and combine to provide insight into her vision and process. O’Keeffe moved from New York City to Abiquiu in the late 1940s and lived in this 5,000-square-foot home dating from the Spanish Colonial era. Seasonal tours open to the public. www.okeeffemuseum.org
