This is the first time both Spanish and Hispanic Markets in Santa Fe have been featured together in a single book. It is appropriate that the tradition be celebrated and remembered for New Mexico’s Statehood Centennial in 2012. Pictures of Market from twenty years are presented like a scrapbook. In addition, this is the first time Best of Show winners of both Markets and the Masters Awards for Lifetime Achievement for Traditional Market are compiled. There are resource listings with books on traditional Hispanic art of New Mexico, museums with Hispanic art collections, videos, newspapers, and magazines. The history on both Markets is explored—how they came to be and what is involved in both Markets. It is also a record of people who have passed or left Market over the years.
