| Winter Spanish Market (Copyright: Elizabeth R. Rose) |
Big draws for Santa Fe are the
colorful markets held around the town's main plaza. As the leaves turn golden,
the Plaza gets more quiet. And then, with the beginning of winter, the
festivals start once again. But at this time they are moved inside.
It's cold outside and the markets
and shows will continue in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We always look forward to the
winter markets held inside. There are fewer artists than the events held on the
historic Plaza, but you'll have a great chance to visit with the artists and do
some holiday shopping in a more leisurely and comfortable atmosphere.
Taking place
December 1-2, 2012 the Winter Spanish Market showcases traditional Spanish
colonial arts and has expanded this year by adding several new events. Luncheon
with the Artists on Wednesday, November 30 is an opportunity to enjoy lunch
with a Spanish Market artist and learn more about them and their work; tickets
are available for $60.
The market
will open at the Santa Fe Convention Center for the first time on Friday night,
December 2, from 6:00 to 9:00 with the WinterNite party, featuring food and
music along with the artists selling their work. The market runs for two full
days December 3 and 4 and features pieces by 100 Hispanic artists.
Other
highlights of the weekend include a Holiday Home Tour and a Traditional
Christmas Tea at the Hotel Saint Francis. More Information.
Another
winter market that everyone looks forward to is the SWAIA Winter Indian Market. This market is SWAIA's
Annual Holiday Native arts show held during Thanksgiving weekend (November
24-25, 2012) at the Santa Fe Convention Center.
You'll have the chance to visit with 150 Native artists. Six award-winning artist demonstrators including jewelers Vernon Haskie and Allen Aragon, potters Erik Fender and Ulysses Reid, painter Ryan Lee Smith, and weaver Lola Cody will be demonstrating their art at the Santa Fe Convention Center.
