Sponsor a first-time Market Artist

Be Part of a Story That Transforms Lives!

Sponsoring a first-time artist at the International Folk Art Market means so much more than covering travel, meals, and lodging. It means allowing them to focus on what they do best — creating powerful, meaningful work that sustains entire communities.

In the special video presentation below, we invite you to hear directly from two first-time artists about how sponsorship changed their lives, their businesses, and their communities!

This is the kind of impact your gift makes. Not just for one artist, but for her community, and for all of us who believe in a more connected world.

We hope you’ll consider sponsoring a first-time artist this year and becoming part of their powerful story.

Thank you for creating opportunities and impact for folk artists worldwide!

Your contribution enables these emerging artists to participate in the 2025 Market, showcasing their art, talent and culture.
