Inspired by our 2022 Festival? You've got a year to get crafty and be a part of the 2023 Festival
November 10, 11 and 12, 2023!
Thank you for helping to make the 2022 festival a success!
We had so much fun with you all at our 23rd annual event in November of 2022 that we can't wait to do it again next year. The 2023 dates are November 10, 11 and 12!
Did you get inspired at the 2022 festival? Come visit our spin-off creative reuse center: RESOURCEFUL SANTA FE! to find items just waiting to be reused, repurposed and upcycled! Resourceful Santa Fe has its own physical space off of Siler Road and is a great way to find items to reuse/repurpose into art!
The country’s largest and oldest recycled art market, Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival, is dedicated to showcasing art created from discarded materials. This exciting event includes an inspiring art market, adult and student juried art exhibits, and make and take art activities on Saturday and Sunday. Each year we bring in more than 100 artists from around New Mexico, but also stakes such as Colorado, New York, Arizona, and elsewhere that offered their original pieces for sale in the Art Market and display their work in the juried art exhibit. Every year, this event attracts thousands of art lovers and the eco-conscious holiday gift-giver attracted by the art deals, family-friendly art-making activities, gallery-worthy exhibits, and the perfect gifts.
All art consists of a minimum of 75% recycled materials – everything from vintage tin cans turned into beautiful earrings to scrap metal sculptures. Artists successfully upcycle trash into treasure, combining recycling and innovation to show creative ways to save our resources, while making one-of-a-kind art. The event demonstrates the resourcefulness of the artists and has grown into a powerful economic development tool for existing and emerging artists.
