Our Sculpture Garden is located in Cerrillos New Mexico, south of Santa Fe and north of Albuquerque, making it a wonderful day trip from both locations. The garden is open weekdays, seasonally May through October. Discover larger than life metal origami sculptures set in the spectacular Northern New Mexico landscape. Learn about our process of creating paper into metal. Engage in paper folding. Come curious, leave inspired!

ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN, an exhibition created by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box, features Box’s own compositions as well as collaborations with world-renowned origami artists Robert J. Lang, Te Jui Fu, Beth Johnson and Michael G. LaFosse. Origami, meaning “folding paper” in Japanese, reflects the essence of creativity: making something out of (basically) nothing. Start with a simple square piece of paper. Apply the art of origami, folding the paper in a creative way to produce an elegant object—a soaring bird, gliding plane, galloping pony, floating boat, or an emerging butterfly. Artist Kevin Box takes origami to another level, transforming paper into museum quality metal sculpture through processes he has pioneered in teamwork with foundries, fabrication shops, and his studio staff.

New Mexico Sculpture Garden

Our garden is mostly an outdoor experience as you meander through paths that showcase over 15 monumental origami metal sculptures. There is an interior gallery and gift shop space that displays an interior exhibit alongside our gift shop. On many days, we are folding origami and invite you to join in the creativity! Walking the garden takes 40 minutes on average, and the some visitors enjoy staying longer to fold and experience the interior exhibit. This is private property, but visitors are invited to take photos, use the parasols, use our maps and are reminded to always stay on the paths.
