Creativity is in the air here - just breathe.”

“Bluebird Studios of Santa Fe is on a wonderful family ranch complete with horses and very gracious hosts, Billy and Beth Cooper. The studio is huge with plenty of room for a variety of different art workshops with renown nationally recognized artists.
Each of the workshops I have taken were inviting, informative, inspiring and enjoyable food and drinks are provided so participants can concentrate on the instruction of demos, and one’s own work. We also visit art studios, galleries, museums and have a big family dinner in town”. This is a positive experience not to be missed!

What People Are Saying
Santa Fe, NM has long been a destination for artists and art buyers but it has lacked a great fineart "workshop" location until now! Situated just 10 minute drive from the Santa Fe Plaza, Beth and Billy have built an art barn replete with horses, expansive views of beautiful Northern New Mexico and top notch National and International instructors on the roster. I have enjoyed multiple workshops in the last three years and would highly recommend Bluebird Studios!

I had the opportunity to take a class at Bluebird Studios last summer, and it was a wonderful experience. The owner, Elizabeth, did a fantastic job organizing the week, taking us to great locations to paint, and keeping us fed. The studio is perfect for classes. The location is beautiful and just the right distance from the city. I honestly can't wait to take another class there.
Bryan Grayson
A beautiful facility in a beautiful setting. Spacious, north light studio. The hosts, Beth and Billy Cooper are wonderful and well organized. There’s great food, gorgeous horses and the breathtaking scenery of the southwest. Can’t rave enough about my experience there.
Julia Abbott
Wonderful experience all-around! The studio was spacious and well-equipped for a watercolor workshop, set in the midst of a lovely bucolic spot about 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. Studio owner and host Beth took care of everything—from keeping us fed and comfortable in the heat to having each student's station prepped and ready—so we could focus on what we came for: learning watercolor from a world-class instructor, Geoff Allen.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars!! I had the most amazing week studying and learning watercolor here, It was like going to summer art camp and I'm still buzzing from all the fun we had as a group. We had the most amazing instructor and our incredible hosts, Beth and Billy are so hospitable. They made everyone feel right at home. I can't wait to go back!
