Kick Off the Santa FE Market Season! May 21-24

About Native Elements Art Festival + Market

Welcome to the Native Elements Art Festival + Market, Santa Fe’s premier gathering for art lovers, collectors, and creators celebrating the vibrant world of Native American and Southwestern artistry. Located at the Santa Fe Convention Center, our annual event marks the kickoff to the 2026 Santa Fe Market Season from May 21st through May 24th. This unique festival brings together an inspiring collection of visual art, jewelry, pottery, weaving, and more—handcrafted by Indigenous and local artists who are the heart of Santa Fe’s creative spirit.

Our festival showcases the extraordinary cultural heritage and artistic innovation found across tribes and communities, offering attendees a rare opportunity to directly engage with talented creators. Visitors can explore beautifully curated booths featuring fine art, one-of-a-kind jewelry, intricate basketry, ceramics, and sculptural pieces. Every purchase helps support the artists and their families, fostering continued creativity and sustainability.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply seeking an authentic piece of the Southwest, Native Elements offers an enriching and welcoming experience. Our market is a highlight of Santa Fe’s dynamic art scene—a true destination for those passionate about Indigenous art, handmade crafts, and meeting the makers themselves. In partnership with the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, our event also offers interactive demonstrations, artist talks, and cultural performances, making it a must-visit occasion for the entire family.
