Financial advice for artisans
SANTA FE — Nobel laureate and financier to the poor Muhammad Yunus is taking his campaign to re-imagine capitalism to the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe, where visiting artisans and cooperatives from dozens of countries are encouraged to think as entrepreneurs.
In its 15th year, the annual bazaar provides a combination of cultural exchange and economic lifeline between U.S. consumers and international artist — from Mexico to Laos — who work within folk art traditions.
Tutorials and networking events were scheduled for Wednesday to help visiting artists.
