Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Spring Festival
The Rio Grande Spring Show is on a roll — and we’re determined to make 2026 the best yet! After a successful post-COVID comeback and a Top 100 ranking (#95) on Sunshine Artist’s latest list, this juried indoor show has reaffirmed its long-standing reputation for drawing thousands of loyal, art-buying shoppers.
Now in its 34th year, the show will welcome 175 fine artists and craftsmen from across the country to its well-known home at EXPO New Mexico this March. Backed by an extensive multi-platform advertising campaign, Rio Grande takes promotion seriously — combining broad reach with targeted strategy to bring in qualified, motivated buyers.
