Santa Fe, New Mexico

July 9-12, 2026

The International Folk Art Market brings the world’s finest folk art to Santa Fe each July. It’s a place where cultures from all corners of the globe are celebrated; where folk artists, often marginalized in their own communities, are elevated. Where the humanity of the handmade isn’t just discussed but is right in front of you as you move from stall to stall at a bustling outdoor event, taking in the shades, symbols, and smiles of nearly 60 countries gathered in one place. More than 150 artists participate, trekking to the United States from 52 different countries — and in four days thousands of visitors attend, purchasing millions in folk art, and more often than not, supplying income that helps sustain entire communities.

Indian Theater: Inspired by both the occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes in 1969 as well as a treatise written at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) that same year and first published in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this presentation of Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969 marks a kind of ‘homecoming’ for the conceptual basis of the groundbreaking exhibition, which has been previously shown in the Northeastern United States and in Canada.
