IFAM VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION
Click the image to view the Volunteer Orientation, an optional video providing a look at the International Folk Art Market organization, and it’s flagship event, IFAM Santa Fe.
ARTIST ASSISTANT TRAINING – VIDEOS
We have broken the following training videos into chapters so you can view the training in “small bites,” or, if you are a returning Artist Assistant, you can skip ahead to Chapter 1.3 to review the point-of-sale process and learn about this year’s updates.
Additionally, there are two shift-specific videos – for those helping with Friday Set-Up and those working the Sunday shifts. If you are volunteering for either of those times, please be sure to watch the appropriate video/s.

If you’re unable to get your shirt and badge prior to Market, you can pick up your items at the Volunteer Tent before your shift. We’re also happy to answer questions, register walk-in volunteers, and generally problem-solve.
If you have your shirt and badge upon arrival, you do NOT need to check in at the Volunteer Tent before your shift. Artist Assistants – please DO check in with your Block Captain.
