More than 1500 volunteers, some from as far away as Australia and the United Kingdom, but most from our wonderful New Mexico community, are the true angels of the Market. In 2011 they devoted 16,530 hours of their time and passion. They help artists, take tickets, write orders, translate, decorate booths, pour water, organize buses, and much more. They are also our cultural ambassadors and the Market simply wouldn’t happen with out them!
As we go into the final week of National Volunteer Month, we want to say thank you Santa Fe International Folk Art Market Volunteers!

Love this! Thank you volunteers!
Wow! What a wonderful message of sharing for all of our fabulous volunteers, the amazing folk artists, our dedicated staff, our visionary board members, and of course, all our visitors and buyers who make the entire event worthwhile. Way to go, Kira. And thank you to everyone who put this video together. It captures the feel of the Market experience so beautifully. All my very best, Lopez Love
