New Mexico Arts has taken the following steps to continue serving artists, arts organizations and communities across New Mexico

Grants

We continue to be in communication directly with grantees about how COVID-19 restrictions impact their grants and funded programming.

Art in Public Places

The Art in Public Places program (AIPP) has transitioned to online meetings for Purchase Selection and Commission Prospectus Development meetings. If you are an artist or agency that is working on a current project with New Mexico Arts, please contact a Public Art Project Coordinator for more information. Please see the press releases in the News & Announcements section of our website for specific meeting details.
