CENTER ARTIST LABS & RESIDENCIES

CENTER Artist Labs is a one-month residency offering artists a place to experiment with new methods of engaging audiences. This unique residency offers artists critical support during the project’s final stages with meetings with curatorial and outreach advisors. The residency culminates with each artist showcasing his/her work to the Santa Fe art community and beyond.

Residents are chosen by an outside jury comprised of Laura Addison, Curator of Contemporary Art, NM Museum of Art; Erin Elder, Curator, Center for Contemporary Art; and Meggan Gould, Assistant Professor, UNM and photographer.

CENTER Artist Labs is supported by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts
