We spent a weekend in Santa Fe...soaking in all the amazing artwork as well as the International Folk Art Market. 750 artists from over 88 countries...so overwhelming but in a fabulous way.
The museum hill where this takes place makes sure every detail is perfect, each walkway and booth with a different hanging sculptural theme, fantastical against the New Mexico sky.
The artist take home 90% of the sales of their artwork. There are so many stories of how this event impacts the lives of artist all over the world. One small women's collective of stitching artists from India made enough this weekend to supply food for their entire community for the coming year.
This Guatemalan hooked rug came home with me... and the delightful woman who is part of the cooperative that makes them.
and then there is all the art on the plaza and along Canyon Road
throw in great food, yummy drinks, Flamenco...
pretty happy we live a reasonable drive away...
thank you for sharing each delicious shot! you have filled my soul cup and jump started my day! gorgeous happiness in all ways!
