Gallery visits included Jane Sauer Gallery, Charlotte Jackson Fine Art, and the Lannan Foundation, with some time to spare at galleries along Canyon Road and the Railyard District. The CCC also took a trip to Abiquiu to visit Georgia O'Keeffe country around Ghost Ranch and a visit to the O'Keeffe home and studio. A few members remained an extra day to enjoy the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta at the beautiful Santa Fe Opera.
