About Mill Fine Art Gallery

Mill Fine Art is a contemporary and abstract art gallery located on the lower end of historic Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Number 530, on the south side of the road, was for nearly 300 years a farm house with an enclosed goat-yard, views of Lone Peak and Mount Baldy off to the north, and small walled corals.  Now the “goat doors” still allow children to move between the shady central “plaza-court” and the upper exhibit spaces, and the thick adobe walls protect arts patrons from the summer heat.

Adobe walls, viga and latilla ceilings, still form the two primary structures of the gallery. Entry is gained under the street arch and through the historic gates.  The gently rolling and rounded softness of the spaces work as stage sets for the artworks within.   The aesthetic of the traditional wavy plastered architectural forms, outdoor and in, works in complimentary contrast to the world-class canvases, minimalist gesture drawings and the abstract color splashes of some of the worlds best contemporary artists.

Considered by some to be the best art gallery in Santa Fe, Mill Fine Art is located at  number 530 on historic Canyon Road.   Exhibiting primarily non-representation and minimalist artwork, the gallery presents the finest emerging and mid-career American artists as selected by gallery directors Mary Mill and Verne Stanford.

Unlike many Canyon Road galleries, Mill Fine Art does not exhibit southwest landscapes, but focuses on Abstract Expressionist and genuinely innovative minimalist work.  The gallery presents only work from artists not represented by any other galleries in New Mexico.

Mill Fine Art is one of the few Canyon Road Galleries located in a beautifully historic farm house.  Long in the family of gallery owner Mary Mill, the current 6 large exhibition rooms present contemporary art in a charming and elegant setting.  Adobe walls, viga and latilla ceilings, the tile and brick floors all contribute to a setting suitable for these strongest  of American artists.
