Community Highlight: Santa Fe Indian Market
Every August, the City of Santa Fe becomes home to one of the most significant celebrations of Indigenous art, culture, and entrepreneurship in the world.
The SWAIA - Santa Fe Indian Market brings together more than 1,000 Native artists representing over 200 Tribal Nations for a weekend that transforms the city into a vibrant showcase of creativity, culture, and community.
What makes Indian Market so special isn't just the art. It's the opportunity for artists to connect directly with collectors, visitors, and supporters while sharing stories, traditions, innovation, and cultural knowledge through their work. Jewelry, pottery, textiles, painting, sculpture, fashion, etc. The event highlights both contemporary and traditional Indigenous artistic expression.
At Obtain, we're always inspired by organizations that create opportunities for communities to tell their own stories, build economic opportunity, and celebrate culture on their own terms.
If you're in New Mexico, Indian Market is an experience worth adding to your calendar: https://pulse.ly/cdiw5hy1jf
