Native Treasures Art Market
Eldorado Studio Tour
Join Native Treasures for the fourteenth annual Native Treasures Art Market, a nationally recognized Native art market and benefit held in Santa Fe on Memorial Day weekend, May 25–27. Native Treasures is produced by the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. The museum is proud to promote working indigenous artists and help sustain their communities and cultures.
The Eldorado Arts and Crafts Association presents the twenty-seventh annual Eldorado Studio Tour, May 19–20, with an opening reception on Friday, May 18, from 5pm to 7pm, at the Preview Gallery, located at the Max Cole Community Center at 16 Avenida Torreon. The Preview Gallery will be open from from 9am to 5pm both days. The open studios are from 10am to 5pm.
Native Treasures Street Eats, a food truck event, will be held on Sunday, May 27, from 11am to 3pm, outside the Santa Fe Convention Center in partnership with the Santa Fe Reporter.
The largest studio tour in New Mexico, the Eldorado Studio Tour features the work of some ninety-nine artists showing and selling their art in their own studios. The artistry encompasses myriad styles, media, and techniques—surely something to appeal to all visitors and art collectors.
Visit with two hundred of the best Native American artists working in the country today—from traditional to contemporary, from emerging to established. Attendees have access to high-quality works from artists representing tribes across the United States. Jewelry, pottery, paintings, basketry, beadwork, carvings, sculptures, and textiles are for sale.
