An American Knockoff: Lecture, 6 pm Thursday, Aug. 9. Free. SITE Santa Fe, 1606 Paseo de Peralta, 989-1199. Artist reception, 5-7 pm Friday, Aug. 10. Free. Eight Modern, 231 Delgado St., 995-0231

28th Annual Santa Fe Mountain Man Trade Fair: Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 9-12. $1 suggested donation. New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln Ave., 476-5200
