Over the past 20 years, the International Folk Art Market and its flagship program, International Folk Art Market | Santa Fe, have been providing the opportunity to folk artists at the world’s largest market of its kind. Our organization has expanded programs to meet the specific challenges that folk artists are facing in the global marketplace.
What was born out of Santa Fe as a small grassroots organization focused on one weekend a year, has now grown into a nonprofit empowering international folk artists year-round. Allied with the world’s master folk artists, your participation in IFAM results in communities around the world having clean drinking water, education for girls, improved healthcare, and thriving folk art communities.
