It’s like few other places in the world … because it’s the world gathered all in one place.

Collectors of folk art flock to the annual Santa Fe International Folk Art Market.

Consider the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market … an atlas of artisanship.

This July, Santa Fe will resemble the United Nations, an arts fest, a vast native bazaar and a cultural extravaganza all rolled into one...

This pop-up global village in Santa Fe is the next best thing to buying a round-the-world airline ticket.

What draws you to folk art? ‘It's the voice of a culture, from the time it was made but also reaching back hundreds of years. It's interesting to see how certain patterns endure and evolve. We're attracted to things that tell us about ourselves. I think of these pieces as the beginning of a road that leads to the artists and the stories behind their work.

It is a spectacle and a world bazaar, a traveler’s dreamscape, an art lover’s delight.
