Arguably one of the most famous art markets in the world, the Santa Fe Indian Market is getting underway. We can tell because there is a lot of traffic, a lot of private jets flying in to the airport, and every square inch of space downtown is filled with vendors.

It is truly a fantastic weekend to be in Santa Fe - the weather recently has been beautiful, and this years market has a stellar lineup of artists, some new to the market, some long timers. While you’re here, be sure to check out the massive projects that have consumed Santa Fe for the last year or so. Downtown , the new New Mexico History Museum is nearing completion, the new Santa Fe Convention Center (aptly named - The Santa Fe Convention Center) is almost done too. A fast paced and exciting lottery handed out coveted monthly parking spaces in the new underground lot.

Over at the railyard, the new Warehouse 21 recently opened right next door to Site Santa Fe. Behind Site Santa Fe and all along Cerrillos Road you’ll notice the new Railyard park. Not quite done yet but the opening is scheduled for mid September. Closer in , there are new and newly renovated galleries along Guadalupe St, and the Market Center (housing REI and many others) is nearly done as well.

Be sure to check out the Parade of Homes - a showcase of fine homes in all areas of town in which to showcase your newly purchased art.

Welcome, and enjoy your weekend!
