Overview
The largest Native American art market in the world since 1922. Organized by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, artists compete across dozens of medium and tribal-affiliation categories for the prestigious and life-changing Best of Show title. The event fills downtown Santa Fe's historic Plaza for a full weekend. If a collector only goes to one market, this is usually the one people mean when they say "Indian Market."

Most of this century is still on paper. We have written historical narratives for 103 years of SWAIA history, scheduled for a later release; but the artist lists for all but the most recent years sit in boxes and filing cabinets… or not on record at all anymore. Help us put the records together.
