After putting on two shows in New Mexico, IFAM is announcing its first event on the East Coast IFAM EAST will take place May 21-22 at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, located on the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut. “The Indigenous Fine Art Market is a celebration for both the artist and visitor.
