Santisima

Love this little gallery. It has more modern New Mexico style folk art. The prices are very accessible for most people and the owner is great.

Amazing and beautiful art gallery! Owner was incredible and answered all of our questions. Knows the artists sooo well. First time in Albuquerque, and happy I got to experience old town and this gallery. I had to support and make a purchase. I needed to add one of their beautiful pieces to my art room.

I am not too big on buying art and craft items but this store is definitely something special. After looking through countless gift shops in Old Town filled with cheap t-shirts and what not we were literally blown away by the unique handmade pieces in this store and made some great purchase. Definitely will return on our next visit to ABQ. Owner was extremely helpful and explained a lot about artists too.

Beautiful place. Artwork is magical!! Gentleman that helped us was great!!! Loved the experience.

We're so glad that we finally took the time to stop in and visit this store. They have amazing local art, lots of items priced for "normal people"- not just high end collectors, and Johnny was great to talk with. We left with a beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Old Town Albuquerque is a fun place to poke around but after a few blocks you'll find yourself quickly bored by the same cheap touristy nick-knacks over and over again. There are only so many Kachina dolls or turquoise necklaces you can stomach in a day. And then, in the midst of all of these tourist traps is Santisima - the type of gallery I came to Old Town searching for! Unlike most of the other folk art shops in the area, Santisima has truly unique artwork by exciting artists like Brandon Maldonado. It is art that's representative of the area and it's diverse culture but is also something that I would hang on my wall. The gallery is small but it hit the spot just right for me today. I easily could have scooped up 30 different pieces of art and left with a satisfied smile on my face. I will definitely be returning and grabbing a print or two before I head back home! The prices were reasonable enough to justify a spur-of-the-moment purchase for pretty much anyone. I also want to mention that the owner was great while I was there. He was just the right amount of friendliness sprinkled with enough 'I'll leave you alone to browse' to make me feel welcome. By far this was my favorite shop in the area and possibly the best I've been to in the city!

Hands down the absolute *best place* in town to buy Dia de los Muertos art and curiosities. Johnny Salas has curated one of the finest offerings of artists under one roof, including his own phenomenal creations of which I have many. Whether shopping for yourself or the holiday season, Santisima cannot be beat!!!

Everytime I come and visit my family in Albuquerque, we come to Old Town and this shop is a MUST to visit. Johnny is so friendly and cool and the artwork is gorgeous. I buy a piece every time because they are unique.

Truly amazing!! Such a wide variety of artwork !! The owner is wonderful and really cares about each of his artists!!! Highly recommend checking this gallery out!!!

So glad I stumbled upon this little local art shop! Best part of old town, by far. The gentleman up front Johnny? was a pleasure and so passionate about the local artists. Easy purchase!
