Introducing the 2024 International Folk Art Market Neighborhoods!
Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the 2024 International Folk Art Market! This year, we’re excited to announce the 20th Annual Neighborhood themes you’ll discover during your visit. To enhance your visit, we’re highlighting each neighborhood to make learning more about each artist easy. Let’s get started with the ever-popular Innovation Tent.
Innovation Tent: Tradition Meets Modernity
What is it? The Innovation Tent features 25 artists who blend traditional folk art with contemporary fine art and graphic design.
Who are the artists? They are a diverse group, hailing from rural and urban areas across the globe, each one reimagining and transforming folk art traditions in their unique way.
Why visit? See how cultural traditions are kept alive with a modern twist.
Generously sponsored by JoAnn and Bob Balzer, the Innovation Tent is a must-see!
Meet the Artists | Innovation | Booth #’s 102-126
If you plan to attend IFAM 2024, visit the Innovation Tent, where you can meet the diverse group of artists experimenting with their cultural heritage and learn about their unique backgrounds and sources of inspiration. The stories behind the art can provide a deeper connection to the work on display, and understanding the artist's journey can enhance your appreciation of their creations.
