The oldest continuing Native art event in the country, SWAIA’s Santa Fe Indian Market, marks its much-anticipated centennial this year. “I think of all the lives changed in those hundred years by this market,” said black-ash basket weaver Jeremy Frey (Passamaquoddy) from Maine. “It’s changed my life.”

Founded in 1922, Santa Fe Indian Market is back with 500 artist booths in and around the plaza and auxiliary events at the Museo Cultural and Santa Fe Convention Center.

SWAIA director Kim Peone (Colville/Eastern Cherokee) and SWAIA board member Andrea Hanley (Diné) took turns announcing the prestigious awards. Beadwork/quillwork classification winner Juanita Growing Thunder Fogarty (Fort Peck Assiniboine-Sioux) expressed the gravity and joy of the celebration. “I’m so honored to be here. This is my 37th Indian Market,” she said. “Congratulations on 100 years of SWAIA. We love Indian Market!”

Best of Show Winner

The 2022 Best of Show winner is A Hundred Years in the Making, a polychrome pot inlaid with more than 400 stones crafted by Russell Sanchez (San Ildefonso Pueblo). A longstanding master ceramic artist and SWAIA board member, Sanchez learned pottery techniques from his great-aunt Rose Gonzales (San Ildefonso Pueblo, 1900–1989). He described his work as “footprints from the past leading to the present.”
