San Manuel Sponsors Southwestern Indian Arts Festival

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) was a sponsor of the Santa Fe Indian Market Gala, held August 17 at the New Mexico Art Museum’s Vladem Contemporary. The Gala—featuring fashion shows, modeling and exclusive auctions of Native artworks—is the pinnacle of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts’ (SWAIA) annual Indian Market weekend, drawing in artists, collectors and patrons from across the globe. SMBMI is a proud sponsor of this event, as it connects Native American artists and communities, promotes economic development, and celebrates diversity and inclusion.
