Santa Fe International Folk Art Market

This past weekend the City of Santa Fe, NM, held its International Folk Art Market.  It's a very busy week filled with art openings, dance and craft demonstrations.  I attended the Saturday market with more than 156 master folk artists from 54 countries who gathered on Museum Hill for the 9th annual event with fabulous entertainment and international foods.  On the way back from LAX, I heard a wonderful piece on the radio about how the market raises funds for developing countries and how vital this event is to many many small cooperatives.
