Axle Contemporary: Call for Entries

International Endoscopic Film Festival

Axle Contemporary seeks short video works utilizing endoscopic camera footage.

People have always been finding ways to look inside, behind, and beyond. With the invention of the endoscopic camera we can now easily look inside holes and pipes and bodies.

Today endoscopes are routinely used for arthroscopic surgery, and colonoscopy. Plumbers have adopted the technology for diagnosing blockages, feeding borescopes deep into household and municipal sewer pipes. As the technology had blossomed, uses for the endoscope have expanded. Mechanics look inside machines, biologists look inside underground nests, and treasure hunters look into storm drains. Endoscopic cameras are now available for as little at $20.

Axle Contemporary is now pleased to announce the International Endoscopic Film Festival. A series of short films to be screened in Axle’s mobile artspace from June 12-21, 2020, in conjunction with the Currents Festival of New Media Art.

Axle welcomes all filmmakers and artists to create and submit short films (3 minutes max) for consideration for the festival. All films must use footage captured with an endoscopic or borescopic camera. Other footage can also be included. Footage can be captured by the filmmaker or repurposed from medical or commercial borescope footage. Axle will soon have an endoscopic camera available for any local filmmakers who would like to borrow it.

To submit a film, you must upload to the web (YouTube, Vimeo, or anywhere else), and send us a link at submissions@axleart.com. If desired, you can make your film “private” and send us both a link and password. Accepted films can be delivered by thumb drive or online file transfer.

Submission deadline: April 17

Notification of acceptance: May 1

File delivery by: May 15

516 ARTS -- Albuquerque

Museum from Home: The Resilience Project

In response to the current global Covid-19 pandemic, which has resulted in the temporary closure of 516 ARTS and cultural institutions around the world, we’re launching a digital initiative to remain connected with the creative community. We’re asking artists to participate in our digital museum by sharing how they are maintaining their daily practices, how they are coping with challenges, and what they are doing to stay inspired. We encourage artists and creatives in all mediums to submit one item of your own original work (visual art, creative writing, interviews, pictures of your studio/workspace, works in progress, tips for staying sane, recipes for self-care, your reading list, or thoughts on how you can leverage social distancing to impact your practice, etc.) to museumfromhome@516arts.org. We’ll feature a selection of them on our social media, blog and website for the duration of our closure. Please limit your submission to once a day to allow for a broader participation by the public.

far flung poetry pop-up project

Bill Waters and Miriam Sagan of the blog Miriam’s Well invite you to participate in a far flung poetry pop-up project. The aim: Pick a site in any location you can access. Write a poem about or suited to that place, your feelings and observations, etc. Please do not limit yourself to current news or virus concerns—be expansive. Installation: This is essentially ephemeral or guerrilla art as we are’t installing in a group (maybe later!) with permission from something like a sculpture garden. Figure out how you want to place the poem in the site—tied to a tree, hidden in a box, written on earth or sand, attached to yarn bombing…the options are endless. Proviso: Be respectful of the site—don’t litter or obstruct anything. Documentation: Take some photos, type the poem up, and send to us. We will create an on-line way of showcasing your work. Maintenance: Some pieces will be documented and come down immediately. Some work is meant to weather away. Some is meant to be pocketed by a passer-by. Figure out how long you want to keep the poem “up”—are you re-writing it in the sand every day? Or not. Contact: Miriam at or Bill at

https://miriamswell.wordpress.com/2020/03/23/you-are-invited-call-for-pop-up-poetry-party/

Bill Waters the of Poetry in Public Places Project says: Isolation, to a greater or lesser extent, has suddenly become the new normal, and open spaces — parks, trails, paths, sidewalks — are surging in popularity as places where people can get out of the house for a while to stretch their legs, alone or with a friend or two. At this time of uncertainty and worry, poetry in public places can be more than something to enrich the hustle-bustle of everyday life. It can serve as a point of connection to something bigger than even a pandemic: the universal human experience, of which illness is only one part.

City of Santa Fe Arts and Culture Departments

Culture Connects Coalition Artist Relief Fund

The City of Santa Fe recognizes the important role that artists and creatives have played in our culture and our economy. That’s why it is with great pleasure that the City Arts and Culture Department announces its partnership with Lannan Foundation in the creation of the Culture Connects Coalition Artist Relief Fund. Lannan Foundation has put forth a $10,000 Seed Grant and then a Challenge Grant of $15,000 to support artists during this time. The partnership recognizes the impact that COVID-19 precautions are taking on our artist community and aims to provide a measure of relief.

The Culture Connects Coalition fund’s first initiative is a response to the current COVID-19 public health pandemic and the subsequent suspension of events in our community. The impact of these suspensions will have a ripple effect throughout our artistic community, adversely impacting artists, their families and the greater community. Following the City of Boston’s lead, awards from $500-$1,000 will be made to artists-in-need through a less-formalized grant process through the Culture Connects lens of equity, inclusion and access. Depending on funding levels and the number of requests, priority will be given to artists from communities that have been historically and systemically economically disadvantaged. Our goal is to support as many Santa Fe artists as possible.

Please contact the Arts and Culture Department to make your contribution and pledge your support: ; call us at 505.955.6653.

The fund will go live in April with award distribution between 15-30 days upon request and review. More info: https://www.santafenm.gov/culture_connects_coalition

The Jam Stand: sound/music residency

The Jam Stand is a sound/music residency based along the Rio Grande valley south of Albuquerque. Every year, participants are chosen to come out for up to two weeks and work independently towards personal growth and development in the Jam Stand studio. This is time for artists to explore, strengthen and expand skill sets and to take some time to get back to the roots of their audiological expression. We hope that this time helps sound artists and musicians to move toward their goals or re-orient. We believe that giving artists time an space to work is one of the most valuable gifts and hope to continue sharing these resources. Each resident is filmed during their stay and a video produced looking behind the scenes at their process and some of the sounds they made while at the Jam Stand.

Resolana Farms

Creative Residencies and Retreats

Resolana Farms has been a stopping-place for journeyers, artists, writers, and explorers for hundreds of years. This gem of a ranchito is a watering hole, both physically and metaphorically, providing nourishment and creative inspiration to many who pass through or stop to rest a while. The signature red cliffs of Resolana Farms soften into grama grass barrancas, then drop down onto the Poleo Creek and the acequia-fed fields to the south. The elements of this landscape are in constant dialogue, a kinetic dance of light and shadow, moisture and drought, of time, entropy, and human energy through the centuries.

Program Goals:

To give individual artists, creative, and spiritual practitioners the opportunity to unplug and recharge in the quiet magic of our northern New Mexico ranch.
To encourage inspiration and new thinking gained from quiet, unscripted time on the land.
To facilitate the completion of projects or catalyze new ones through intentional pause and time alone to write, read, create, walk, meditate, reflect, and restore.

Program Details: Residencies vary in length. The average stay is four nights. The minimum stay is two nights, and the maximum stay is one week.

Resident enjoys one-bedroom historic private home, and is responsible for bringing his or her own food and cooking all meals during the residency.

Santa Fe Art Institute

2021 Revolution Residency

The Santa Fe Art Institute is accepting applications for our 2021 International Thematic Residency Program “Revolution” which includes our July Family Residency. Applications from individuals and collaborations of two people are welcome. The program is open to all artistic disciplines and creative practices such as curation, design, architecture and education. Before applying, please review the detailed information about eligibility, restrictions, programming and facilities on our website: https://sfai.org.

According to Paulo Freire, people can, “develop their power to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves [so that we may] come to see the world not as a static reality, but as a reality in process, in transformation.” In the last few years numerous global social movements and political protests, many of which are ongoing, have brought inequities and systematic violence into the foreground of public discourse. These upheavals have focused specifically on wealth inequality and the ways in which it reinforces tyrannical rulers and oppressive regimes, and erodes democracy, public wellbeing and environmental stewardship. In the United States of America our current system of government, social structures and cultural values continue to uphold inequitable power dynamics and extreme wealth disparities, and ignore the looming climate catastrophe. The upcoming US presidential election already impacts our public discourse, and will undoubtedly deeply affect our future reality.

We ask applicants to consider how art and creative tactics can: reimagine the praxis, grammar and aesthetics of entrenched and failing systems; radically shift collective perceptions and lived reality to build capacity for self determination for all peoples; catalyze and support radical and profound social, political, environmental and cultural change that is sustained, intergenerational, inclusive and liberatory.

Deadline: April 1, 2020 Fee (USD): $35.00

The selection committee is interested in commissioning artwork that will engage students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the NMMI Campus in a way that speaks to the rich history and heritage of NMMI, Southeastern New Mexico, and the Cadets that have attended NMMI. The committee would like a work that is large in scale (life-size or larger) and would serve as an iconic landmark that identifies NMMI to the passerby and welcomes those to the NMMI campus. The deadline for submissions is April 27, 2020. Questions about #257? Please email: Meredith.Doborski@state.nm.us.
