June is Smithsonian Folklife Festival Month, and to celebrate, our Smithsonian community can enjoy a special discount at our online Festival Marketplace! From now until the end of June, use discount code Festival2021 for 30% off any purchase.
The Festival Marketplace features crafts and artisans from recent Festival programs—Armenia, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and Kenya— along with craftwork from many other countries around the globe. You’ll find a wide selection of distinctive textiles, ceramics, prints, wood carved objects, filigree jewelry, and more. These handcrafted objects represent the traditions, rituals, and history of these artisans and their communities. The Marketplace continues the important work of the Festival by connecting global artisans to global customers while helping to conserve humanity’s contemporary living artistic and cultural traditions.
As you explore the work of Marketplace artisans, be sure to check out the schedule for the Festival’s upcoming weekend of online events, Beyond the Mall: Making Matters. Streaming online June 25–27, the programs feature master and everyday makers who find solace and connection in creativity.
