Through hysterical comedy, storytelling, and original songs, Zappo Diddio reflects on his path to healing through loving kindness and service toward young people in crisis. Forgiveness and reconciliation are recurring themes as he makes efforts to reconnect with his dad and leans into his paternal Jewish ancestry. Exploring how life’s challenges call us into the healing of mind, body, emotion, and spirit, Zappo stumbles through the gauntlet of recovering health and his once joyful life after 12 years of ongoing negotiation with Lymes disease. Like life itself, this performance leads to deep meaning as it moves along a roller coaster of hilarious, heart-opening storytelling.

Edition ONE Gallery is honored to host Memphis Barbree as an Artist in Residence for the month of January, 2019. Barbree is a landscape and documentary photographer, traveler, and explorer who photographs the interplay of life’s essential elements and natural forces - earth, sky, wind, water, fire, light and time.  Memphis’ life experiences have given her a deep sense of unity with these forces. Her landscape images express the power, beauty and mysteries she finds as she journeys in communion with the world around her. Her training as a writer and background as a newspaper reporter draw her to also explore and document places and events of significance in the journey of humanity.

Memphis honed her craft of the fine print by spending over a decade studying under and assisting distinguished photographer George DeWolfe - a student of Ansel Adams and Minor White. Her archival pigment and platinum prints are highly regarded for their clarity and quality and collected privately and publicly.

Help us celebrate 3 years in business! We'll be open for business during the Canyon Road Block Party from 4-7pm and then transform into a Disco Dance Club from 7-9pm. Bust out the satin, spandex, platforms, and legwarmers and boogie!

Please join us this Tuesday, November 13th, at 6pm for a special screening of the film Ed Larson's 87 years of life, WONDERFUL ED, A Santa Fe Story. This film is currently under Academy Consideration for Documentary Short Film. Come meet the artist, Ed Larson and the filmmaker, Mark Steven Shepherd and hear the music of Joe West who did the music in the film. Then go dancing afterwards next door at El Farol to the Blues Jam. An evening to remember....

EDITION ONE 728 Canyon Road (behind Geronimo)
Admission ( to benefit the film's Oscar campaign) pay what you wish.

Edition ONE is delighted to invite our long-time friend, world-class folk-artist and raconteur, Ed Larson, for a one-man show in a gallery with even more history than his former stables up the road.

For two, glorious, probably cold, definitely colorful, months we will be showing Wonderful Ed’s Western Art and Whimsical Sculptures. Come inside to see Ed’s art, share some hot cider or cocoa, sit with Ed by a cracklin’ fire, and hear stories of the fascinating characters that have come through Ed’s 87 years of life - 30 of them spent here in Santa Fe, 20 of those 30 on Canyon Road. As part of the Santa Fe Artists in Residence you can catch Ed working in studio every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening from 4-7pm.

Please join us Tuesday, September 25th 6:00- 7:30pm for a fascinating discussion on the evolution of style, presented by ASMP NM professional photographer, Mark Berndt. Mark will talk about the stages of development in a photographer’s style using examples from his work in commercial documentary photography. He will speak simultaneously to the importance of creative development and imprinting commercial work with your own personal vision.
Mark Berndt is a self-taught photographer, film director and digital printmaker whose work celebrates people and the circumstance of life. His communication skills, acquired from 40+ years in film, photography and advertising, inform and infuse his photography.

Primarily a portraitist, Mark’s work celebrates people where they live and work, and his documentary-style narrative images capture life in the moment – the instance and the substance of human interaction.
A former faculty member at Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA), the Kansas City Art Institute and the Julia Dean Photo Workshops (Los Angeles), he currently teaches photography and digital imaging in private workshops and one-on-one consultation.

Mark’s professional affiliations include having served on the Board of Directors of ASMP‘s (American Society of Media Professionals) Los Angeles chapter, as a board member and President of ASMP’s KC-Midwest Chapter, and on the board of KC Society for Contemporary Photography.
