POP Gallery

Anytime I am visiting family in Santa Fe I always make sure to stop by Pop. The new location and space is amazing. I happened to have a piece catch my eye and Sharla and Bob were amazing to work with.
I live in California and they shipped the piece in ample packaging and it’s very apparent they care it arrives with zero damage. Living in Los Angeles some galleries are all about the $$$. It’s so refreshing to speak to owners such as Sharla and Bob due to the fact they too love art and collecting.
The piece I purchased arrived today and I forgot just how beautiful it was. I cannot state enough just how easy it is to work with either Bob or Sharla. I will be back every time I am in town to see what new and very interesting art they have on display.
If you are visiting from out of town or a local, you need to stop over and take a look. You can find yourself looking at different art for well over an hour, and it’s a very relaxed environment. No one is following you around and breathing down your neck. Yet, if you need help or have a question they are there to assist.
Thank you Charla and Bob for facilitating everything as simply and painless as you have. I am in love with my new piece of art!!!

We were out walking after brunch and discovered this absolute gem! Fantastic pieces and gorgeous paintings. I fell in love with one particular painting and so wished it was in my tiny vacation budget. Even if you go in to just look, I must insist you do so!

This is a great gallery full of excellent examples of the Neo-​Pop art movement. There are some reasonable pricing for one-​of-​a-​kinds and series work. The owner Sharla was very giving of her time with me in explaining the ins and outs of what was in store. She helped me to understand some of the current pricing vs availability questions that I had.
The wifey and I have an eye for some of the pieces in the gallery… we will have to look into a possible purchase.
This is worth the visit. Go and explore.

This was alright. They had a Where the Wild Things theme for their main area, and there were a few cool pieces. The variety of styles of art was refreshing in a city where, let’s be real, the art is kinda blegh.
I’m not super into the art of Santa Fe, so I’ll preface with that. Here there were lots of different styles of stuff going on, so if you’re looking for a variety of art to consider, it works that way! At POP there were even some $ 50k original drawings from The Grinch.
The piece I really liked was this turquoise bracelet that looked like traditional Southwestern jewelry, but upon closer inspection it was carved into a rough-​hewn skull.
Pretty rad! Some expensive pieces and a large variety of art styles.

After wandering around the plaza and the tents open during Fiesta weekend, I spotted this gallery and we wandered inside. This is definitely not your average southwestern gallery, but it’s also not your Canyon Street contemporary gallery either. There’s a mix of pop art, contemporary, and a lot in between. The owners were very friendly and let us treat their gallery like a mini-​museum. They were very hands-​off and let us do our thing.
Although more female-​centric, I loved that they had jewelry artists as well as visual artists represented in the gallery. I love funky, standout jewelry pieces, and I could have easily spent several hundred dollars on their amazing wearable art. Need a beetle preserved in a glass globe pendant, or some hand-​forged skull earrings? This is the place.
There is definitely some high end art here (Though nothing truly insane) but they have many pieces, jewelry and otherwise, that are– dare I say it– cheap. After leaving and browsing for a few hours, I came back so we could buy one of their smaller pieces from a local photographic artist. Although not what typically comes to mind when I think «Santa Fe», our skeleton chef now hangs proudly in our dining room/​kitchen, and it says «Santa Fe» to me.
This gallery also ships, so check out their website if you’re into kooky art. A nice way to see some different art styles, that still represent local artists of the area.

A respite from all the Southwestern stuff. Fun, quirky, and unique works are on exhibit.

My boyfriend saw a painting in the window of this place while we were on vacation so we stopped in. It’s just a cool little gallery that has a bunch of awesome art. Everyone working there was nice, and the women who ran the place was super informative and totally into her job. If you want to spend just a bit — they have unique prints that are in the $ 50 range. And if you want to throw down some serious money, you can do that too and go home with some kickass work.
