One of the highlights of the winter season in Santa Fe is
the Annual Winter Indian Market. The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts
(SWAIA) presents the 9th Annual Winter Indian Market®, Thanksgiving Weekend,
November 29-30 at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center from 10 a.m. –5 p.m.
The event will be located at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. 201 W.

This smaller, more intimate version of the summer Santa Fe
Indian Market® features approximately
200 Native American artists including potters, carvers, basket makers,
beadworkers, sculptors, painters, jewelers, weavers, photographers and mixed
media artists. Many of the award-winning artists from the 2014 Santa Fe Indian
Market® will be participating including Lola Cody (Navajo), who won Best of
Show for textiles. At Winter Indian Market®, you buy directly from the artists.
The participants in this invitational show are juried from summer market
assuring a great selection of high quality Native fine art.
As part of the Winter Indian Market®, SWAIA is hosting the
first annual Festival of Trees benefit. Local businesses, Native artists and
individuals have donated fully decorated trees to be auctioned off over the
weekend. Among them are Things Finer, Rob and Elizabeth Pettus, Rio Grande
Jewelry Supply, Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino, Nocona Burgess and family,
and the Santa Fe Indian Market® / SWAIA tree with artist donated ornaments.
Immediately following the close of Winter Indian Market® on
Saturday night, there is a benefit reception and concert featuring Iron Horse,
a new collaboration by award-winning Native rock musicians Robby Romero and
Robert Mirabal. Sat Nov 29, 5-7. Tickets are $15 at the door.
The Santa Fe Indian Center has partnered with SWAIA to host
a children’s activity table and there will also be free gift wrapping
available. Both will be available throughout the weekend along with special
live cultural, traditional and contemporary performances.
