A call for Native American artists has gone out from the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) to apply for the 2023 Santa Fe Indian Market. SWAIA is the non-profit organization who produces the annual Indian market that attracts buyers from around the globe.
This year’s market will be held on August 19 and August 20, in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. SWAIA’s theme for the 2023 market is “101 Years of Indigenous Excellence.” As the world’s oldest and most prestigious Native North American art market, Santa Fe Indian Market has been showcasing the work of the best Native North American artists for over one hundred years in all ten market categories.
Artists who apply must be tribal citizens from federally recognized tribes.
To apply online, artists can visit the SWAIA website and follow the application instructions. All artist applications must be submitted by Monday, February 20, to be considered.
Online applications for Indian Market require a $40 application fee, and in person or mailed applications, a $60 fee. Only one classification may be entered for each application. For artist’s needing assistance completing an application, artist services will be available by phone or in person in person at the SWAIA Offices at 121 Sandoval St #302, Santa Fe, NM; Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.
Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
Right now, your support goes twice as far. Thanks to a generous $35,000 matching fund, every dollar you give during December 2024 will be doubled to protect sovereignty and amplify Native voices.
No paywalls. No corporate owners. Just independent, Indigenous journalism.
