Market sights in Santa Fe

  1. A

    El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe

    In a huge warehouse at the developing Santa Fe Railyard site, the kid-friendly El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe is an all-in-one museum, gallery, performance space and community arts center designed for local Hispanic youth. With exhibits by internationally known artists and others still in grade school, plus all manner of displays geared toward home-schooled kids, this is a great place to introduce your own children to la cultura Nuevomexicana. The huge warehouse space hosts art openings, live music and theater. The Santa Fe Farmers Market is also ensconced here in the winter.

    Portal Program

    The Portal Program allows artisans with tribal enrollment to sell jewelry and art in front of the palace. It's a tradition that began in the 1880s, when Tesuque artisans began meeting the train with all manner of wares; today more than 1000 members representing almost every New Mexico tribe exhibit here at various times, alternating schedules to fill nearly 80 spaces beneath the vigas each morning.
