The concept for the Sculpture Walk & Garden was sparked in 2017 during a conversation between Abiquiu Inn owner Colin Noble and celebrated artist Doug Coffin. Recognizing the Inn’s unique setting as an ideal backdrop for sculpture, the two—along with renowned artist Star York—transformed the vision into a vibrant, annual event that now attracts collectors and visitors from across the region.

With the number of installed works surpassing 100 this year, the exhibition stands as a testament to the growing influence and reputation of the Sculpture Walk & Garden as a cornerstone of New Mexico’s art scene.
