Join us for the Fabulous 51th Anniversary
of the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Fair!

View the next generation of New Mexico artists

Kids! Enter your work for all to see and enjoy during this special celebration year.


Teachers! Let's show New Mexico what talented youth we have.


High school students and recent graduates! Show your work in a premier venue and get noticed. The Youth Exhibit is designed to encourage students to become actively involved in the arts and has evolved into a major show for students throughout New Mexico. The Youth Exhibit has grown from 200 entries to over 1000 entries. Pre-school through high school are invited to participate.


Artwork is independently judged by highly respected and successful New Mexico Artists. All participants receive a participation ribbon and our Youth Awards Program, generously supported by our Artists and Community, provides award ribbons and cash awards.


If you are interested in volunteering, in supporting young artists with a cash donation, or have any questions, please call Elisa Patterson, Youth Program Director, at 505-259-5126 or the NMACF office. We want this to be a BIG show for the 50th anniversary, so let us help you get your work entered.


In addition to the Youth Exhibit, there will be fun, hands-on art and craft activities for "kids of all ages." Face-painting and musicians are often around during the duration of the Fair to delight our audience.
