Overview
Best known for its "Living Treasure" award, presented most years — the pandemic being the exception — to honor a Native artist for a lifetime of contribution to art and culture; designer Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo) is among its more recent honorees. The juried market itself, organized by the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture over Memorial Day weekend at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, held its final event in 2024.

Most of this history is still on paper. We hold 20 editions of Native Treasures Art Market. The years before that sit in boxes and filing cabinets, or are not on record at all anymore. Help us put the records together.
