Trash Fashion and Costume Contest:

The 25th annual Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival takes place November at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. Check out the best spot to buy eco-conscious holiday gifts at the art market and don’t miss the gallery-style exhibits at the student and adult Juried Art Exhibits. The weekend kicks off on Friday night with the Trash Fashion & Costume Contest and includes the art market opening, food vendor, and adult and student juried art exhibits. $5 general admission fee on Friday night. Fashion Show tickets include Friday night general admission.

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.

Join the fun with make and take recycled art activities

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.
