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
Djarga Mira
China (Tibet)Learning by asking questions and watching his parents, relatives, and neighbors, Djarga Mira knows how to spin, dye, and weave.
He continues to work with relatives to create hand woven folk art pieces. Djarga co-founded the Khampa Nomad Arts Cooperative in 2005 to provide income opportunities for members (primarily Tibetan yak herders from Eastern Tibet and a few farmers from nearby valleys) by creating their art rather than getting a factory job during traditionally slow economic times.
