>>
>> What does that have to do with Santa Fe Complex's first juried art
>> show? It's up to the artists, who can explain their ideas here.
>> We'll be happy with a cabinet of curiosities, a science fair, an
>> art exposition, and a three-ring circus of brilliant and fun
>> interpretations of the wisdom of Messrs. Oakham and Einstein. For

>> Santa Fe Complex is located next to the Railyard Art District and
>> within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the
>> plaza downtown. We're housed in two facilities, the conference area
>> at 624 Agua Fria and the project space at 632 Agua Fria.
>>
>> The conference area contains meeting rooms and facilities for short-
>> term use associated with on-going complex projects. The project
>> space houses the great room, where we hold events and offer working
>> facilities for laptop users, coffee lounge and work carrels.
>>
>> While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking

>> Here's a map to our location, a representative shot showing the
