Celebrating the Winners of the 2025 Volunteer T-Shirt Contest!

"My existence as a painter is divided between before and after knowing that city." These are the words of Cuban artist Luis Rodríguez Arias, founder of Grupo Bayate, whose powerful letter from 2018 captures what Santa Fe—and the International Folk Art Market—meant for his life, his family, and his future.

The International Folk Art Market (IFAM) is pleased to announce a record-breaking 3.88 million dollars in sales during its 21st annual market from July 10-13, 2025, at the Railyard Park in Santa Fe.
