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.
Featured Artist
Rinzin Wangmo
BhutanThe Himalayan Mountain valleys of north-central Bhutan hold many of this nation’s most historic and sacred shrines and spiritual centers.
They also are home to Rinzin Wangmo, who learned the art of the backstrap loom from her mother, a weaver to the royal family of Bhutan.
Using traditional techniques and geometric designs, Wangmo creates Bhutanese dresses and bed throws of cotton and silk.
