What We Do

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market is the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.

The Market hosts an annual festive, two-day event on Museum Hill in Santa Fe, New Mexico adjoining our renowned partner, the Museum of International Folk Art.

Abdullah Khatri

India

Abdullah Khatri practices the traditional tie and dye processes of his community in western India.

A pattern is stenciled on fabric, then the cloth is sewn according to the indigo-marked pattern. Men then dip the fabric in a dye solution and when the threads are removed, beautiful patterns are made on cloth used by both men and women.

Sponsor an Artist

Sponsor an artist at the 2009 Market and give the gift of self-sufficiency. Your gift will help folk artists help themselves and keep giving long beyond the Market weekend.

Last year, the Market was able to provide over $80,000 in financial assistance for 26 artists. These artists would not be able to participate in the Market without the generosity of donors like you.
