Organized by a group of local artists, ArtWalk Santa Fe is a recurring outdoor arts and crafts market providing local and emerging artists with an open space to sell their products and get exposure to the Santa Fe community.
ALEX STREEPER CO-FOUNDER

She’s worked in marketing, advertising and events management for local organizations like Creative Santa Fe, Xerb, Hatchform and on special projects for the City of Santa Fe. She’s the marketing and outreach director for ArtWalk Santa Fe and the owner of Alita’s Mexican Curios.

CAITLYN STUART
Caitlyn grew up in Pecos (near Santa Fe) and moved to Colorado shortly after graduating from UNM. During the pandemic she started creating art for the first time since childhood and began Princess Frilly Studio, which brought her home. In addition to art, Caitlyn works in marketing, helps local businesses launch, and loves salsa dance (and hopes to get a local salsa social happening soon)!
2023 ArtWalk Santa Fe Results
2023 was a great year for ArtWalk Santa Fe! We hosted 221 unique artists and creators at our 9 ArtWalk events throughout the year, and over 6,000 people attended these events, resulting in an astounding $100,000+ in economic development for our participants (and that doesn’t include the impact in sales for our partner venues, musicians, food trucks, etc.).
In addition, we hosted 10 Community & Crafts events throughout the year where we gathered 70+ artists for social crafting and networking, a Bee Artsy for ArtWalk design contest resulting in 3 amazing winning sticker designs, and ended the year with our 3rd Holiday Gift Guide featuring 46 submissions from local NM artists to help boost their online sales during the holidays.
See you all in 2024 for our 4th season of ArtWalks, Community & Crafts events and more!
