New Mexico has always had a rich cultural and artistic history. From early Native American artists dating back thousands of years to modern artists today, New Mexico is known for its thriving art community. It should come as no surprise that the world’s largest international folk art market has begun right here in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
What was once a one-weekend event a year has turned into a year-long program that empowers artists and cultures from around the world. From world-famous folk artists to artisans looking to provide a better life for their families in small communities around the world.

It must feel great to travel around the world for an event that celebrates your culture and appreciates the hard work that you do as an artist. But the effect doesn’t end there. These artists are often members of local cooperatives in their country. In fact, these 150-plus artists represent 25,690 members of cooperatives and groups from their home countries.
