We are the only juried and judged show in the State devoted exclusively to the promotion of New Mexico artisans and craftpeople, thereby supporting economic development in New Mexico.
The Fair is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to provide the creative community a venue through which to present and sell their work. The prestigious Fair presents over 220 of the most talented New Mexican artists and craftspeople and creates a significant economic impact throughout the state. The Fair ranks among the largest events in the state and one of the top shows in the nation with prizes totaling over $4,500 awarded to artists and youth exhibitors.
The Fair attracts approximately 15,000 prospective buyers and averages $700,000 in sales to the artists, making its total impact on the community about $900,000 per year.
The Fair encourages and supports youth artisans as well, ensuring future generations will have a venue to display and sell their work directly to the public in an open air gallery setting.
