International Folk Art Market
July 8–13th, 2024
This week marks the annual International Folk Art Market (IFAM) in Santa Fe. IFAM inspires us to collect and showcase the best work of our own designers and artists in concert with the market. During this time, we invite you to visit us in store and online to explore the collections that represent the best of our one-of-a-kind and handmade.
Visiting Designers + Pop-Ups
Mieko Mintz

We are looking forward to our own annual event: the Mieko Mintz Trunk Show in Santa Fe Dry Goods from July 11th to 13th. Unfortunately, Mieko has had to cancel her trip to us due to a family emergency. However, the trunk show will continue as planned and will be featured at the front of Santa Fe Dry Goods with over 250 new pieces — our largest offering to date — including her most anticipated new designs. Select works will also be available online.
