FOFA News:
The much-anticipated annual Folk Art Flea returns to the Santa Fe County Rodeo Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 4. Shop a vast selection of folk art pieces from around the world. An enticing array of textiles, jewelry, clothing and fabulous folk art for one’s home will be available at flea market prices.
Public admission is free 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and members of Friends of Folk Art (FOFA) enjoy early access to the Flea 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., so come shop early to get the best selection!
Both an active Museum of New Mexico Foundation membership and FOFA membership are required to access Early Bird shopping. Memberships will be verified at the entrance and available for purchase.
Flea proceeds benefit the educational programs and exhibitions at the Museum of International Folk Art.
The Museum of International Folk Art’s FOFA group is seeking folk art donations of gently used textiles, clothing, ceramics, masks, wood carvings, paintings, sculpture, jewelry and folk art décor items to be sold at the 2024 Folk Art Flea. Anyone with folk, tribal, fine art, decorative art, clothing with an ethnic or folk art look, or art books ready to recycle to other art lovers are invited to join in spring donation days. All folk art donations are tax deductible.
Anyone can donate! Let friends who are spring cleaning, downsizing, or holding an estate sale, know about this special opportunity to make a difference at one of Santa Fe’s most celebrated institutions by recycling their art items to the Folk Art Flea.
Bring folk art donations to FOFA’s Spring Donation days 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21.
Drive to the back of the Museum of International Folk Art parking lot and look for the storage pods.
FOFA is now accepting donations year-round. Anyone unable to make one of the donation days may call 505.476.1201 to arrange pick-up or drop off information.
