The best folk art from around

else could anyone ask for in art
teacher heaven?
Join SchoolArts editor Nancy
Walkup in Santa Fe, New Mexico,

culture. Meet the artists, appreciate the crafts, view demonstrations
and enjoy the resonating sights and
sounds of world cultures represented

in the place she loved, explored,
painted, and lived in for over fifty
years.
