This year the Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair's Keynote Exhibit is focusing on a recycled art theme for our patrons and customers to enjoy. JoAnn Obara, one of our participating artists, volunteered to create a quilt out of past year's T-shirts.

This quilt will be on placed on display in the Silent Auction area at the fair this summer. Raffle tickets will be sold at $5.00 for one ticket. The winner of the raffle drawing will take home a beautiful recycled T-shirt quilt, handmade by one of our esteemed artists.

JoAnn Obara is a fiber artist and resides in Taos, New Mexico. We are fortunate to have her as an Artist Representative for this year's art fair. Thank You JoAnn!

The New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair, a 501(c)3 non profit, has been a must-see summer event since 1962. Featuring exclusively New Mexico artisans and craftspeople, our mission is to promote a premier juried event to present the most talented New Mexicans. The Fair encourages and supports youth as well, ensuring future generations will have a venue to display and sell their work directly to the public in a gallery setting. The Fair ranks among the largest events in the state and one of the top shows in the nation.

 


This project is made possible in part by the New Mexico Arts,
a division of the Office of Cultural Affairs, and
