Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
The International Folk Art Market seeks to create economic opportunities for and with folk artists worldwide who celebrate and preserve folk art traditions. Each July we transform a venue in Santa Fe, NM into a bustling outdoor market. For the previous 18 Markets we hosted Market at Museum Hill in Santa Fe, but in an effort to be more connected to the community we have moved to a more central location; The Railyard Park! This year we are hosting over 168 artists from 52 different countries. We are expecting 16,000 guests to this year’s Market and approximately 1,000 volunteers. We have volunteer opportunities to work directly with the international artists, supporting the production of Market, and working with guests visiting the venue!
