Lensic Performing Arts Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States Of America

The advent of digital technology has meant that neighborhood cinema, once fixtures of their communities, are slowly dying and disappearing all over America. Thankfully, one such theater in Sante Fe, New Mexico, has reinvented and reinvigorated itself: The Lensic Performing Arts Center. Once known as the Lensic Theater, the distinctive architecture of the Lensic Performing Arts Center is now a renowned home for music and the performing arts. The Center today is once again at the Center of life for the city's music and art enthusiasts, in addition to still showing films from time to time.

Other than its home city of Sante Fe, the Center is also strategically close to the city of Agua Fria and White Rock, giving visitors looking to catch a show plenty of options in terms of accommodations and nearby attractions to while away the time. The Old Sante Fe Inn offers guests a luxurious stay in a missionary-style building within walking distance of the Center. For those more interested in staying at a classic hotel in the art deco style with plenty of amenities, the Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe is also a great option. A stay at the Inn and Spa at Loretto meanwhile lets guests pamper themselves with a suite of in-house services set in a historic building. Any patron of the arts staying at these establishments will also enjoy a visit to the Santa Fe Opera or the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, both important fixtures in Santa Fe's artistic community. For a different sort of artistic pursuit, a visit to the Don Quixote Distillery and Winery is sure to satisfy the more gastronomically inclined guest.
