About the Market

Founded in 1922 by Edgar Lee Hewett and Kenneth Chapman of the Museum of New Mexico, what began as the Southwest Indian Art Fair and Industrial Arts and Crafts Exposition has transformed into SWAIA (Southwestern Association for Indian Arts)—a global platform dedicated to celebrating and supporting Native artists. Originally created as a means to preserve and promote Native art, Santa Fe Indian Market grew from a small indoor exhibition into the largest juried Native art show in the world, attracting over 100,000 visitors each August and generating millions in economic impact.

Join the Nerman Museum team and see it for yourself on an exciting three-night trip to New Mexico!
