ART IS THE SOLUTION: Cultural Futures (Santa Fe)
Santa Fe artists, the next cycle of ART IS THE SOLUTION: Cultural Futures is now open for applications through June 1
The Santa Fe Arts Commission and the Arts & Culture Department are pleased to announce the “Art is the Solution” program for 2025-26. This annual funding awards $10,000 each to five arts and culture projects that culminate in a public engagement for residents and visitors of Santa Fe.
This year, the theme is Cultural Futures. We invite artists, artisans, and creative innovators to explore how art serves as a powerful tool for solving cultural challenges, preserving and sustaining traditions, and fostering innovation. Aligning with Santa Fe’s 20th anniversary UNESCO theme of “GENERATION/S: Tradition as Innovation,” this call focuses on intergenerational craftwork, storytelling, and the dynamic fusion of tradition and modernity. We seek proposals that build upon and celebrate the artistry passed down through generations, reimagining heritage as a source of contemporary innovation.
We encourage applications from arts practitioners of all backgrounds and disciplines, from the traditional to the contemporary, including craft, folk art, metalwork, woodcraft, textiles, pottery, murals, lowrider art, dance, culinary arts, visual art, film/video, writing, architecture, music composition, performing arts, design, new media, and interdisciplinary arts. We also encourage collaborations between artists of different generations. We recognize that while cultural heritage is often transmitted linearly through nuclear families, vital traditions and arts practices may skip and zigzag among generations, or develop authentically from chosen family, diasporic connections, and other cultural affinities.
Project examples might include artworks, public art installations, community workshops, performances, exhibits, publication projects such as zines, books, or anthologies, multimedia work, collaborative/interdisciplinary partnerships, and many other possible forms, as long as they have a public exhibition and/or engagement.
Full details, including eligibility requirements: https://www.jotform.com/team/240787860625062/art-is-the-solution-2025-26

Railyard Art Project
Community Artists, Designers and Innovators:
The Railyard Art Committee (RAC) invites both individuals and creative teams to propose visual and performing art projects that are vital, lively and experimental for temporary installation within the Railyard Park + Plaza.

Joint efforts across disciplines — artists, designers, scientists, historians, hydrologists, and many more — will be welcomed interactions with the original design.
All applications for installations, artworks and performances of a temporary nature that comply with the usage policies of the Railyard Park + Plaza are welcome. A limited number of honoraria, up to $500, are available in 2014 for exemplary projects. Ongoing.
