43rd Challenge New Mexico Arts and Crafts Festival

Our show provides a great reason to spend the day on the Santa Fe Plaza!

Here are some things you’ll love about our show:

We have something for everyone! With over 100 vendor booths exhibiting and selling work at our show, you will get a taste of authentic art in numerous styles and media. From fine art to photography, jewelry to clothing, sculpting to metal work and pottery (and more!), our show offers you a chance to browse a little bit of everything – all in one place.

Everything is handcrafted! Each artist is ONLY selling items that they have crafted themselves. You have a chance to speak with each artisan about his or her work before buying. You get to meet the person who poured creativity and hard work in to the item you are investing in.

There is something for every budget! Our vendors have items that fit a wide range of budgets. Whether you are looking for the perfect piece of Southwest Jewelry or a keepsake for a loved one at home, you will find something beautiful and unique that fits your needs.

Location, Location, Location! The Santa Fe Plaza area is rich in history, and there are many attractions within walking distance of our show. You will find yourself surrounded by New Mexican architecture, Spanish and Native American culture, and authentic New Mexican cuisine during a trip to our show.

It’s for a GREAT cause! A trip to our show directly supports the Challenge New Mexico Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program. By supporting our artists, you are helping ensure that the CNM Ranch can continue to provide services to the special needs community of Santa Fe and all of Northern New Mexico.
