2023 Folk Art Flea Sponsorships

The Folk Art Flea is the Friends of Folk Art’s (FOFA) best-known annual fundraising event with all proceeds supporting the Museum of International Folk Art’s (MOIFA) excellent educational programs and world-class exhibitions.

The Flea will take place Saturday, May 6 at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds, 3229 Rodeo Drive. Although admission is free, members of Friends of Folk Art enjoy early admission to the Flea from 9 to 10 a.m. Public admission is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

We are grateful to the many people who have contributed to the Flea’s success by donating gently used folk art which will be for sale at the Flea. Sponsorships will help offset expenses and, when added to the proceeds of the sale, will go to support programming and exhibitions at MOIFA. Thank you for your consideration of supporting this important fundraising event.
