SANTA FE— The International Folk Art Market (IFAM) is pleased to announce its complete list of artists participating in the 21st annual International Folk Art Market from July 11 to July 13, 2025, at Santa Fe’s Railyard Park. This year’s artist cohort includes 142 master folk artists representing 57 countries— including a new country to market, Austria.

“At IFAM, the connection between artists and consumers is at the heart of everything we do. Instead of asking artists to fit into a mass market by making things smaller or cheaper, we encourage them to bring their best work, set their prices, and tell their own stories,” IFAM Executive Director, Stacey Edgar said.

The 2025 International Folk Art Market will showcase international artists and collectives exhibiting folk art in all eleven juried artist categories: apparel, basketry, beaded jewelry, ceramics, glass, metal, metal jewelry, painting and drawing (2D), rugs, sculpture, and textiles for the home.

Additionally, 34 first-time artists, sponsored by IFAM, will attend and exhibit their artwork at this summer’s market. These emerging artists will be supported during their trip to Santa Fe and participate in IFAM’s Mentor to Market training program for first-time artists.

Tickets for all IFAM 2025 events will go on sale Jan. 1 at folkartmarket.org/tickets
