Summer Artist Showcase - Juan Lopez

Join us this summer for a captivating Artist Showcase at The Fort! Each weekend we will feature a different talented artist displaying and selling their work exclusively at our historic venue.

September 19-21: Juan Lopez Showcase

Juan Lopez is from Corrales, NM. He began his jewelry-making career with beadwork and silver overlay pieces. After seeing a piece of filigree work at Santa Fe's Museum of International Folk Art, Juan was inspired to learn the art of gold and silver filigree. Juan was unable to obtain any tools or firsthand information because the filigree work in New Mexico had died out in the 1950s. Undaunted, Juan learned the art by looking at old filigree work and experimenting with silver until he was happy with the results.

Experience the rich artistic heritage of the West with an array of Spanish, Native American, and Western artists, each bringing their unique style and storytelling to life through their creations. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind piece to take home, this is a wonderful opportunity to engage with local and regional artists in a stunning setting.

Stop by, explore, and celebrate the artistry that shapes the spirit of the West—only at The Fort!
