A little over a year ago, the city began cracking down on gallery owners who were serving alcohol as part of exhibit openings, but not wanting to kill the goose that laid the golden egg of a vibrant Santa Fe Arts District, the state legislature passed HB1105 effective July 1st: CONCERNING PERMITTING AN ART GALLERY TO SERVE ALCOHOL BEVERAGES
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Basically, the bill allows galleries to pour "complimentary" booze for up to four hours, 15 times a year, to no more than 250 folks at a time for the cost of an annual license.
