In its seventh year, Abiquiu Inn began the Sculpture Walk & Garden in 2017. The idea was born when Abiquiu Inn owner Colin Noble and artist Doug Coffin shared a conversation. Coffin suggested that Abiquiu Inn would be a perfect venue for a sculpture exhibition. Noble was fascinated by the idea and put creative plans into place. With the help of world-renowned sculpture artists (and New Mexico based) Coffin and Star York created the Sculpture Garden.
Noble added a “walk” element to give both guests and collectors the experience of an artistic journey. Hence, the art is displayed in the spaces between the O’Keeffe Welcome Center and Abiquiu Inn, along the Terrace, and into the Sculpture Garden.
Since then, the Sculpture Garden has grown exponentially and the number of sculptures for exhibition has surpassed expectations. This year there are 61 incredible pieces by artisans from all over the United States.
Abiquiu Inn is a 30-room boutique hotel in Abiquiu. The restaurant, Café Abiquiu, is under the leadership of Executive Chef Rey Melton. Abiquiu Inn supports and showcases artists and their work in their gallery, dining room, The Shop at Abiquiu Inn and throughout the property.
