SITE Santa Fe invites you to celebrate Patrick McFarlin with a pop-up exhibition and revival of Pat’s Downtown Club!

Over twenty years ago, SITE presented a portrait exhibition by Patrick McFarlin. Over the course of several months, the Santa Fe community dropped in to the galleries at SITE where Patrick held open studio hours, during which he painted portraits of all who wished to sit for him.  John Marion, Juliet Meyers, Rob Coffland, and Bunny Conlon were just some of the Santa Fe art world figures that stopped by and sat for Patrick.

This June, on the eve of Patrick’s 80th birthday, we honor him and reprise his beloved portrait studio and Pat’s Downtown Club!

The Details:

Pat’s Downtown Club Revival will be on view in the SITElab Gallery with Patrick in residence and painting new portraits.

Wednesday, June 5 10am – 5pm

Thursday, June 6 10am – 5pm

Friday, June 7 10am – 7pm

Saturday, June 8 10:00 - 3:30pm
