The Corrales Art & Studio Tour is back for its 27th year, bringing a weekend of creativity and community to the Village of Corrales, just northwest of Albuquerque. On May 3 – 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., visitors are invited to take a self-guided tour through artist studios, galleries, and businesses across the village.
With 83 local artists and over 50 student artists participating at 36 venues, this year’s tour offers an extensive range of artwork and the chance to meet the creatives behind each piece.
About the Corrales Art & Studio Tour
Organized by the Corrales Society of Artists, the Corrales Art & Studio Tour (CAST) is one of the largest and most anticipated studio tours in New Mexico. The event continues to highlight the creativity and talent of the region’s visual artists while offering the public a special chance to connect with them in an intimate, behind-the-scenes setting.
Spanning mediums from painting and printmaking to ceramics, glass, photography, fiber arts, and more, the tour reflects the diversity and depth of the local arts community. Studios and galleries throughout the Village of Corrales open their doors for the weekend, welcoming visitors to walk through working spaces, ask questions, and purchase original works directly from the artists.
“The tour is a great opportunity for artists to interact with the community, and local and visiting art collectors,” says Beth Waldron Yuhas, Corrales artist, Corrales Society of Artists Board vice president, and 2025 CAST director. “People coming to the tour get a chance to see where their favorite artists work and get a window into the creative process.”
Visit the Preview Gallery at Old San Ysidro Church
Before the weekend tour kicks off, guests can view one selected work from each participating artist at the Preview Gallery inside the historic Old San Ysidro Church, located at 966 Old Church Road. The Preview Gallery opens with a public reception on Thursday, May 1, from 6 to 9 p.m., followed by open hours on Friday, May 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. It will also be open during tour hours on May 3 – 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..
