The event, hosted by the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico, will continue through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. “Every year we organize the arts and crafts fair; it is run entirely by the undergraduate students,” said Stella Bell Kemper, executive director of ASUNM Art and Crafts Studio. The Arts and Crafts Fair has been a tradition during UNM’s fall semester since 1963, according to the UNM website. According to ASUNM officials, each year the University welcomes vendors selling original, handmade goods of many varieties, including custom clothes, chain mail jewelry, crocheted stuffed animals, fused glass window art and local honey. “This is the only show in the entire state that requires that everything be handmade,” Bell Kemper said. “We do not allow any imports, we do not allow any mass-produced items.”
