SANTA FE — Attendees of the Objects of Art show, Aug. 10–13, and Antique American Indian Art Show, Aug. 15–18, at Santa Fe’s El Museo Cultural, 555 Camino de la Familia in the Santa Fe Railyard, will receive 50 percent off admission to the Museum of International Folk Art upon presenting their ticket stubs from either show, MOIFA Director Khristaan Villela announced today.
As a result, New Mexico residents will pay $3.50 and non-residents $6.
This special offer is in conjunction with MOIFA’s pop-up exhibit at both shows, The World in New Mexico, New Mexico in the World, showcasing global works ranging from a Miao Chinese crown, to contemporary Peruvian folk art, to Navajo silver. The exhibition highlights permanent collections as well as the upcoming exhibition, Crafting Memory: Contemporary Life and Folk Art in the Andes.
At 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 at Objects of Art, Villela leads a talk of the same name, in which he details current MOIFA exhibits and offers a sneak preview of those to come.
“This is an excellent opportunity for folk-art lovers and collectors to deepen their knowledge of folk art across cultures,” Villela said.
