Acosta Strong Fine Art specializes in historic paintings, the likes of the Taos and Santa Fe schools, and also proudly features noted and emerging artists. This includes Jack Dunn,
Jim Jennings and Robert Reynolds. The gallery is thrilled to announce the opening of Tres Pintores, an extraordinary group show featuring these three amazing, diverse and very talented artists that are taking Santa Fe by storm. The show will open May 23 and continue through June 5.
“These artists have been our most successful of our contemporary artists, and we are excited to show them together in a group show for the eighth time. I’m extremely proud to represent their work in my gallery,” says gallery director Carlos Acosta.
The gallery also notes that “it all started in New Mexico with the Taos Society of Artists, followed by Santa Fe Cinco Pintores. This tradition of esteemed artists coming to paint the Land of Enchantment is well represented by Acosta Strong Fine Art, including the three artists mentioned here.”
As part of the show opening, Acosta Strong will be hosting an artist reception for Tres Pintores on May 27. It will be followed by painting demonstrations on Saturday, May 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., outside of the gallery on Canyon Road.
