The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts of New Mexico reported a surplus revenue for the first time in several years.
The group's income was $1.4 million. Revenue increased due to a new partnership with Pojoaque Pueblo, a hike in booth fees for the popular Santa Fe Indian Market, an increase in participants in the winter market, a rise in membership and more t-shirt sales.
SWAIA "turned the corner from several years of declines," treasurer Ardith Eicher told The Santa Fe New Mexican.
This year's Indian Market takes place August 22-23.
