SPANI SH MARKET
MARKET GUIDE 2017
E
veryone at the Spanish Colonial Arts Society welcomes you to the 66th consecutive Traditional Spanish Market. Market was started back in 1926 (the year after the society was founded) but, during the Great Depression and WWII, we took a hiatus, returning with a vengeance in 1951. We hope that you enjoy the works of art that you see so beautifully grouped around the plaza and find something that you love, to take home and cherish. You will truly be taking a piece of the history of New Mexico and the Southwest into your lives. Beware -- for some people, one piece is never enough! The Spanish Colonial Arts Society’s mission is “to preserve, promote, exhibit and educate the public” about historic and present-day traditions in New Mexico and throughout the erstwhile Spanish world. The first Market consisted of a sale of work on a few tables at the New Mexico Museum of Fine Arts; it later moved to the portal of the Palace of the Governors. Since the Market was revived, it has taken its place annually on the historic Santa Fe Plaza the last full weekend in July. We have grown from barely ten to over 230 artists every year. At the center of our Market is Youth Market, on the Plaza itself, where children from 7 to 17 (under the mentorship of adult peers) learn how to display and sell their work and converse with the general public. Although we are not the largest heritage market in Santa Fe (our friends at Indian Market have that distinct honor), we have a unique significance to New Mexico. This is not just because this is a living, breathing historical tradition -- but also because of our economic impact. Almost all of our artists are from New Mexico, so the money from their sales stays in the local economy rather than being siphoned off and sent to faraway places. Neither does the Spanish Colonial Arts Society retain any money from artists’ sales at market. In 2016, a survey showed that our 95,000 visitors spent $3.8M on lodging and a total of just over $42M all told in greater Santa Fe. Nearly 50% of our visitors come from more than 50 miles away from the Plaza, and of those nearly half are from out-of-state. We are very proud of those numbers and we sometimes feel that not enough people realize the significant impact we have on the local economy. Very few people know that many of the artists are full-time professionals and, even if they are not, they rely on our markets to make ends meet and feed their families. The traditions that they follow are incredibly time-consuming. Often, like their forebears, they go into the hills to find a natural material such as aspen, piñon or pine to carve or paint on, which then has to be adzed to size, in itself a laborious and skilled process. Many pigments are also found in secret places on rough hillsides many miles from civilization. Gesso is mixed from locally sourced gypsum and rabbit-hide glue. Wool are gathered, spun into yarn and hand-dyed with natural pigments from the earth or from plants. Our artists don’t purchase their materials at the craft store—the traditions they follow are part of the history and the authenticity of what they produce. So, with this in mind, how long does a modest piece of colcha, or a small retablo, take to make? It varies -- but certainly many hours in total. If you buy a work of art at Market for $100 or $1000, the price is a conservative reflection of the time that an artist spent on that piece, probably calculated at not much more than minimum wage. The faith and tradition behind it also makes it so much more meaningful than a factory-produced tourist item. We urge you to support our artists in whatever way you can and help us preserve an essential element of the potent New Mexican “mix.” Go home with an authentic piece of New Mexico -- and buy local! Thank you to our sponsors for their continued support of the Traditional Spanish Market. These include the Santa Fe New Mexican, New Mexico True and the New Mexico Department of Tourism, the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission, Heritage Hotels and Resorts, Santafe.com, AmeriCorps, New Mexico Arts, and all the businesses and private individuals who sponsored booths at market.
