New England fair picks in December

Cultural Survival Bazaar

Boston and Cambridge

Cultural Survival Bazaars are fair-trade events around New England that give indigenous artists from around the world the chance to sell their work directly to the American public. In the past six years alone the bazaars have generated over $2.5 million for indigenous artisans, fair trade businesses, indigenous communities’ programs, and Cultural Survival’s work on behalf of indigenous peoples. Revenue from past bazaars has supported education and micro-finance in Uganda, literacy projects in Mexico, land and forest conservation across Latin America, and language training and economic development for Tibetan refugees. Every year the Cultural Survival Bazaars' hundreds of artists sell traditional crafts, artwork, clothing, jewelry, carpets, accessories, and more in the same company of a wide assortment of cultural performances, from live music to traditional Native American storytelling and craft-making demonstrations. Shop with more than one purpose here.

Dec. 6-7 at Hynes Convention Center, Boston ; Dec. 13-14 Cambridge; www.culturalsurvival.org
