International Folk Art Market
Railyard Park, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
July 11 - 14 2024
We are excited to be visiting the USA in July for a celebration at the 20th Annual International Folk Art Market. Uniting over 167 master folk artists from over 50 countries for a thrilling weekend of cultural exchange in the Land of Enchantment honoring the handmade.
Traditional lifestyles are threatened by economic forces that split communities apart, devalue hand-crafted tradition, and disrupt knowledge handed down from generation to generation. Yet handmade art represents the second-largest industry in emergent nations, and therefore holds the potential for large-scale, positive social change.IFAM seeks to provide a space where folk artists from across the globe can gather together, learn, and sell. The Market helps artists sustain their livelihoods, preserve their cultures, and support their families.

“Imagine a place where cultures from all corners of the globe are celebrated; where folk artists, often marginalized in their communities, are elevated. Where the humanity of the handmade isn’t just discussed but is right in front of you..”
