International Folk Art Market goes green

Easy being green

Volunteers at the International Folk Art Market this weekend show that not only the visiting artists are creative. These volunteers had fun creating their own fashions made from their T-shirts. There’s another day of market fun tomorrow on Sunday, July 12.

In Santa Fe, one of the most enjoyable ways to spend the day is to just watch the sky. The light show is always fascinating and always free!

Enjoy!

Apache Spirit Dancer sculpture

Craig Dan Goyseyun's Apace Mountain Spirit Dancer

Craig Dan Goseyun’s Apache Mountain Spirit Dancer

Museum Hill not only offers a chance to visit the Museum of International Folk Art and the Museum of International Folk Art, but also is where you’ll find one of the most incredible monumental sculptures in the region. Craig Dan Goseyun’s Apache Mountain Spirit Dancer, towers over Milner Plaza as well as visitors (such as myself and a friend on a recent outing).  This amazing sculpture seems to change color as the sunsets.

The artist studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe.  Read more about his years of study and about another sculpture that he made, Follows the Mountain, that now is permanently at a roundabout at Richards Avenue and College Drive.
