Feeling creatively inspired by the beautiful southwestern landscapes Artisan Santa Fe Art Supplies can put all the materials you need at your fingertips. Indeed, the Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Taos-based store, operational since 1975, goes so far as to call itself "The Art Supply Source of the Southwest". The store's owners strive to be a community resource as well, offering an e-newsletter, links to artists' web pages and a community board online, and demos, expos and workshops in-store. You can even submit a request for a demo to be organized featuring a particular material or method in which you have an interest. - Pip Lustgarten
