In May, the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA) hosts its annual Spring Wholesale Market in Albuquerque at the Hotel Albuquerque. For more than 30 years, IACA has hosted the world's largest trade show featuring one-of-a-kind, high quality art created by American Indian artists. Retailers who care about authenticity come from around the world to find these masterful works of art and culture.

If you haven't been to a market lately, now is the time to reacquaint yourself with the quality that has become synonymous with IACA's wholesale markets. While our shows feature high quality hand made and handcrafted American Indian arts and crafts one can also find quality stones and shells in raw and unfinished form as wells as other Indian-made products.
