Celebration of Native Land, Plants, and People

Welcome to Native Elements Art Festival + Market, Santa Fe’s premier celebration of Native land, plants, and people. Set in the vibrant heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, our annual event brings together a diverse community of artists, plant enthusiasts, collectors, and visitors to honor creativity, tradition, and the natural world. Hosted at the Santa Fe Convention Center and Santa Fe Botanical Garden, Native Elements features an engaging lineup of activities that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Native American art as well as contemporary creative expressions.

Our festival is built around the values of creativity, connection, and community impact. Experience a major art market showcasing original works from Native artists, participate in exciting auctions where you can take home one-of-a-kind pieces, and engage with the stories and traditions passed through generations via panel discussions and artist meetups. In collaboration with organizations such as the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) and supported by the Santa Fe Community Foundation, every aspect of the festival is designed to uplift artists and sustain the cultural landscape that makes our region unique.

Guests will find the perfect blend of art shopping and education. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a first-time visitor, our event offers an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone interested in experiencing exceptional artistry, learning about indigenous plants and practices, and supporting a meaningful cause. Scholarships and funding initiatives benefit the next generation of Native artists, while the botanical garden setting highlights the inherent connection between art, land, and community.

Join us each May as we foster relationships between creators and collectors and celebrate the intersection of culture, nature, and creativity.
