Hecho a Mano focuses on art at the intersection of imagination, innovation and tradition and works primarily with artists based in New Mexico & Mexico. Hecho’s goal is to create deep roots of support for artists and exhibit art that is both accessible and genre-defying. We have a peculiar interest in printmaking.
Hecho opened in 2019 on Canyon Road, expanded to downtown Santa Fe in 2022, and merged the two locations downtown in 2024. Hecho a Mano was voted Best Gallery in Santa Fe by the Santa Fe Reporter in 2022 and 2024.
Our historic building at 129 W Palace Ave has been home to Santa Fe stars such as Leonora Curtin’s Native Market in the early 1930’s and The Elaine Horwich Gallery in the 80’s and 90’s.
One of our goals is to showcase work that exists at both ends of the spectrums of price, functionality, and that of “folk” vs “fine” art. We believe the value of art lies not in price, function, established acceptance, or academic context. Value in artwork is inherent as art-making is inherently human. The gates that are constructed to make art seem inaccessible and exclusive are unnecessary, and we discard them.
