Treasures from over 30 artists based in New Mexico have been carefully selected to provide a unique, high-quality shopping experience. Fine art and functional items will include ceramics, glass, fiber arts, photography, prints, paintings, jewelry, and more.

The event kicks off on Friday, December 2 with a “Party with the Artists” Opening Night from 5 to 9 pm.
