The New Mexico Museum of Art, formerly named Fine Arts Museum, Museum of New Mexico, was founded in 1917 as the Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico. Housed in a spectacular Pueblo Revival building designed by I. H. and William M. Rapp, it was based on their New Mexico building at the Panama-California Exposition (1915). The museum's architecture inaugurated what has come to be known as "Santa Fe style." For more than 85 years the Museum has collected and exhibited work by leading artists from New Mexico and elsewhere. This tradition continues today with a wide array of exhibitions of work from the world's leading artists.
The Museum is part of the Museum of New Mexico, a division of the New Mexico Office of Cultural Affairs and is located just off the northwest corner of the Plaza in Santa Fe, NM. Hours and admission fees are available on the Museum's website.

Artists of New Mexico Traditions: The National Heritage Fellows by Michael Petit, Museum of New Mexico Press, 2012 - 176 pages. Google Books says: "Since 1982, fifteen New Mexico artists have been named National Heritage Fellows, the most from any state, recognized for their contributions to the nation's traditional arts heritage. Pettit draws from the lives of these New Mexico artists -- among them potters and weavers, storytellers and musicians -- through interviews with living artists, family members, curators, and others discussing their lives and art. Portraits emerge, as well, of the villages, extended families, and traditions that are a constant in the lives of these artists."
Santa Fe Indian Market: A History of Native Arts and the Marketplace by Bruce Bernstein, Museum of New Mexico Press, 2012, 151 pages. Google Books says: "This is the only book on the history of Santa Fe Indian Market. Each August, one hundred thousand people attend Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the nation's largest and most anticipated Native arts event. One thousand artists, representing 160 tribes, nations, and villages from the United States and Canada, proudly display and sell their works of art, ranging from pottery and basketry to contemporary paintings and sculptures. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of the artists and their work, historical photos from the Market's 90 year history."
