One thousand Native North American artists from the 200 tribal nations in the U.S. and Canada came together in Santa Fe for Indian Market, a favorite fixture on the summer cultural calendar. The SWAIA (Southwestern Association for Indian Arts) Gala was a sold out success, featuring Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo) and musician Robert Mirabal (Taos Pubelo). Weekend highlights include SWAIA artist Naomi Glasses launching her Home Collection with Ralph Lauren, the third year of the hugely popular ‘Get Indigenous Film Festival’, and the SWAIA Native Fashion Show – both of which sold out.
What began in 1922 as the Southwest Indian Art Fair and Industrial Arts and Crafts Exposition has grown to become the largest juried Native art shown in the world, attracting over 100,000 visitors to Santa Fe each August who come to see and shop for outstanding jewelry, pottery, paintings, sculpture, and more and to meet the artists and makers.
