Stacey Edgar was named executive director of the International Folk Art Market in January. Edgar joins “Conversations Different” to talk about preparations for the 20th annual International Folk Art Market, her history with the event, and IFAM's mission of creating economic opportunities with folk artists across the world. The 2023 iteration of the market saw artists bring in a record $3.4 million in its first year at Santa Fe’s Railyard Park after spending previous years on Museum Hill. Edgar discusses the successes of the move and the changes that will take place for this year’s event, which takes place July 11-14.
