Inaugural
exhibition opening in the Gallery of Conscience, guest curated by Dr. Suzanne
K. Seriff, Chair of the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market's Artist Selection
Committee. Dr. Marsha Bol, Director of the Museum of International Folk Art explains
the concept of a gallery of conscience "As the largest folk art museum in
the world, there is a responsibility to create a forum to discuss current issues
that folk artists are facing around the world. This Gallery of Conscience will
be devoted to the examination of issues that threaten the survival of the traditional
arts, bringing them to the attention of our visitors."
All of
the cooperatives featured in the exhibit will be at the Museum throughout the
week and have artist booths at the 2010 Santa
Fe International Folk Art Market». Exhibition highlights include weaving,
beadwork, painting, baskets, embroidery and other traditional folk arts from Bolivia,
Rwanda, Peru, Swaziland, India, Kenya, Laos, South Africa, Morocco and Nepal.
This event kicks-off International Folk Art week in Santa Fe, culminating with
the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market July 9-11. (Photo, above: Baskets

and the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market) The exhibition will close January
