Local Realism Gallery Art Walk in historic Santa Fe
We met at the Sugarman-Peterson Gallery located on 130 W. Palace Ave one block from the historic plaza to enjoy a sneak preview of the show at 1:15 p.m. After meeting the gallery owners and staff, we visited several of the best art galleries by foot for a behind the scenes tour of Santa Fe’s art world which is one of the largest in the U.S. IGOR Charter Member, Donald Clapper, was our tour guide. We ended our tour on famous Canyon Road filled with quality art galleries.

The International Guild of Realism final jury results for our 19th Annual Exhibition hosted by the Sugarman-Peterson Gallery this June are below. We had a huge number of paintings entered, and without a doubt, the quality was excellent!
The jury for this year's exhibition was handled in two levels with IGOR Charter Members selecting the first level and then the owners and gallery director of the Sugarman-Peterson Gallery completed the final jury. Once again, we received an amazing array of superb entries, and our jurors were quite impressed with the quality and creativity of the work entered. Thank you, IGOR artists for submitting such wonderful artwork.
Congratulations to this year's selected artists!
