AXLE Contemporary: BROADSIDES, exterior wheatpaste project

We are creating a series of exhibitions, BROADSIDES, on the exterior of the mobile gallery. People will design works to be printed and wheat-pasted to the sides and back of Axle. We will print and paste up the selected works and park the gallery around Santa Fe where people can see the work while walking or driving, and while maintaining safe practices.Now is an unusual and poignant time in our world. We encourage people to send work for consideration that engages and contributes to one or more of the important issues that are foremost in the public dialogue at this time such as the Covid-19 pandemic, police violence and racial Inequity in our culture, and climate change. We encourage critique as well as work which visualizes how we might start living in the world we want to see. Deadline for round 1 is closed. Round 2 deadline July 26.

City of Santa Fe -- Plaza Obelisk

Culture Connects: Behind the Masks –

Uncovering the Values We Carry Forward.

The Plaza is the heart of Santa Fe, and the City wants healing and dialog to begin there with an artistic installation. The general public, local artists, poets and young people are invited to participate in “Culture Connects: Behind the Masks – Uncovering the Values We Carry Forward.” In particular, the community is invited to share words and images of hope and healing on this installation, which will remain in place as needed community conversations happen.

As a member of the community, we encourage you to participate in this initiative “Culture Connects: Behind the Masks – Uncovering the Values We Carry Forward" to offer a place for all of us to share our values and re-connect with one another to create a space for hope and healing. Here’s how you can participate:

Respond to the prompt “Sharing our values connects us allows us space for hope and healing” in any manifestation (poetry, artwork, photography, etc)

Artwork can be submitted in any of three ways:

1) Join us for any of a series of community events (to be announced) on the plaza to create and post your artwork.
(The first of these will be held Wednesday, July 1 from 9-11 am on the plaza.)

2) Email images, poems, stories to us so that we can print them and post your artwork for you: ArtsCommission@santafenm.gov

3) Drop off your artwork at a Library.

ART AND POETRY DROP OFF LOCATIONS ANNOUNCED FOR OBELISK COMMUNITY CANVAS PROJECT

Drop Boxes for submission to the project will be located outside the front entry doors of each location during their scheduled curbside services starting Wednesday, July 1, 2020:

10 am to 5:30 pm

Downtown-
145 Washington Avenue, 87501

La Farge-
1730 Llano Street, 87505

Southside-
6599 Jaguar Drive, 87507

The City of Santa Fe is taking steps to provide a forum for communication at the very heart of the City’s Historic Plaza that not only protects the obelisk from any further vandalism but provides a place to share artistic images that resonate and elevate thoughtful discussion. The Parks and Recreation team worked with the Arts and Culture Department to design and build a protective plywood structure that will also serve as a focal point for artistic expression. It is our goal to employ that structure as a tool to begin a conversation that will lead to a healing and reconciliation process.

On Thursday afternoon, Arts and Culture Department staff and members of the Arts Commission and Art in Public Places Committee mounted a series of three youth poems on the obelisk cover to seed a garden of creative expression for members of the community to share their work with us. These three poems were the result of our Public Library's Mayor's Cup Poetry Contest which asked students to address the theme, "What Santa Fe Means to Me - Especially Now".

Respond to the prompt “Sharing our values connects us allows us space for hope and healing” in any manifestation (poetry, artwork, photography, etc).

Submissions will not be returned.

Art Park 21
Call for Proposals: “Urban Ecologies”

In the spring of 2021 Art Park 21 will host its second biennial juried exhibition of outdoor eco-centric art. This multi-site exhibition, “Urban Ecologies”, will take place Santa Fe. The AP21 team is pleased to announce that the Railyard Art Committee looks forward to receiving our proposal for the temporary siting throughout the public spaces of the Santa Fe Railyard – the Park, Plaza area and Pocket Parks – as one anchor of this event. The Art Park 21 team and the Railyard Art Committee invite artists/artisans from the region to propose a temporary outdoor installation that is the product of inter-disciplinary collaboration. Installations that are the product of collaboration between one or more artists/artisans and an engineer; scientist; researcher; technician are encouraged, as would artworks that make use of new knowledge, materials, techniques or technology and place a value on sustainability.

Based on final approval by the Railyard Art Committee these works will be installed in March of 2021 for a duration of three months with a possible extension to six months. Installations should be sensitive to the site and context of each area and not disrupt the ecosystem of the Park, conflict with scheduled events or general daily use, or threaten the safety and enjoyment of the public. There is an effort to restore native grasses in the Park and some grass areas would not be acceptable sites. The installation may not involve excavation (other than in some very limited situations) or driving stakes or such into the ground. The Railyard Art Committee will consider all these details in their approval process. Applicants should familiarize themselves with the Railyard Park and Plaza through a site visit and refer questions about materials and type of installation to Art Park 21 prior to formulating a proposal as different areas have different opportunities and limitations.
The following web page of the Railyard Park Conservancy is a useful reference regarding the principles for public art in the Railyard:

Proposals will be submitted for consideration to the Railyard Art Committee. In 2021, a catalog will be published which will document the proposals and the 2021 outdoor exhibit of realized works. Those participants included in the outdoor exhibit will be eligible for an Art Park 21 stipend to produce and install the proposed element on the grounds of the Railyard Park + Plaza and related sites in spring 2021. Modest stipends may be available through the Railyard Art Committee for exceptional projects for installation costs, but artists’ works will need to be self-funded.
“Urban Ecologies”

It is not uncommon for definitions of “nature” to be considered somehow separate from the human cultures that invent it. This exhibition curated by the Art Park 21 team, invites artists and artisans to submit proposals that explore the boundaries and locational definitions of “nature cultures”. These eco-centric installations may consider how our built environments, specific to the New Mexico region, navigate concepts of urban engineering, development, and ecological remediation and cultivation that influences how we might perceive “nature” to exist in these spaces, and even take on an agency of its own. Art and ecology is a proven interdisciplinary field that celebrates collaborations between arts and sciences. As the field expands, it has also become clear that the old binaries of nature/culture (“man”), no longer support the contemporary and creative drive to find a balance between human agency, and non-human ecologies.

Registration:
The deadline for submissions is July 22, 2020. Applicants are asked to first register with the AP21 team. Submission requirements and a map of the park and plaza will be sent to registered applicants. To register for the competition, email resume and brief written description of the intended direction of the proposal. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. There is no cost to apply to this competition.
Send registration and inquiries to:

SITE Santa Fe -- silver linings project

SITE Santa Fe believes that contemporary art has the power to transform lives, foster empathy, unite communities, and inspire social change. During this time of crisis, uncertainty, and change, SITE is shifting the way we connect with our community and imagining new ways we can help one another through the arts. For many of us, these have been times of introspection, reflection, action and transformation, bringing about new ideas, creative projects, and levels of understanding: what we might call silver linings.

The project consists of three parts:

We invite artists of all ages in the community to create an original 2D artwork on a postcard (5.5 x 11 in) and donate it to SITE Santa Fe to be sold with 100% of the sales to support The Santa Fe Dreamers Project. A selection of these postcards will be displayed and available for sale in SITE’s store, CURATED, and others will be promoted online.
All horizontal works submitted will be reviewed by a jury comprised of SITE community members.
Three finalists will be selected to have their works reproduced and presented as a billboard on the side of SITE’s building, premiering in early 2021.

How to Participate:

Beginning Monday, June 8, 2020, blank postcards will be available for pick up at SITE Santa Fe Mon – Fri, 11:30 am – 2:30 pm while supplies last. If an artist is unable to pick up/drop off from SITE, our staff can work with them to make other arrangements. To request special arrangements for your postcard, please email: info@sitesantafe.org. All completed works and artist registration (download here) forms are due back to SITE in the provided protective sleeves by July 31, 2020. There will be a designated box outside of SITE’s main entrance for artists to deliver their works, Mon-Fri, 11:30 am - 2:30 pm. A panel of jurors will review the submissions in August, and three finalists will be announced in September. The finalists will have their works reproduced and installed as billboards on SITE’s building premiering in early 2021. Learn more about SITE's Billboard Project.

SITE invites artists to consider the following questions or themes when creating their 2D work:
What does resilience look like?
What is healing in times of crisis?
What does kindness look like?
Submissions are limited to 1-2 works per person.

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 Department

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. \

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.

As a result of the overwhelming response from Santa Fe artists, the Arts and Culture Department has closed Round One of the Artist Relief Fund Grant program. In just TWO days over 150 artists have responded and, to that end, we will start working on reviewing the applications in the following week with a goal of distributing funds within an anticipated 30 days. Depending upon the results of Phase One and the amount of total funding available for distribution, we anticipate re-opening the Fund for a second phase in May. Selected artists from Phase One will not be eligible to apply for Phase Two, however artists who were not selected are encouraged to re-apply when the application goes live again.

Santa Fe Artists’ Medical Fund

Santa Fe Artists’ Medical Fund provides financial support to professional artists living and working in Santa Fe County that have medical needs but cannot afford treatment or prescriptions. The Santa Fe Artists’ Medical Fund was founded in 1996 by artist Armond Lara and a group of artists and other individuals concerned about the problems faced by professional artists who have no options for group insurance coverage. Since its inception, the Santa Fe Artists Medical Fund has assisted many artists during times of medical needs through grants administered by the Santa Fe Community Foundation to provide for those artists who cannot afford necessary treatment. If you know of any artists who can benefit from our services, please refer them to our website to apply for funds. The link on our website makes applying for funds easy and straightforward.
Also, we are beginning an annual fund drive. If you are able, we encourage you to donate. There is a link on our website to ease the process of donation.
Funds are raised through an exhibition and sale of works donated by Santa Fe Artists. If you know new artists in Santa Fe, or, know artists who have not been included in previous shows, or, know artists who are not receiving our emails, please look for the pop-up sign on our website so that they can be added to our artist database. We would like to have the ability to communicate with every artist in Santa Fe. https://santafeartistsmedicalfund.org/

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. For how to apply visit https://www.facebook.com/JamStandOfficial

One to two Artists at a time, or teams, are provided a private bedroom and either the Private Studio or the Printmaking Studio.Artist Residencies are between 2 weeks to 5 weeks in duration, based on desired length of stay and availability. The Artist Residency Fee is $315 per week for a private bedroom with either the Private Studio or the Printmaking Studio (including ink).

(The full cost to run the Artist Residency Program is provided through donations and grants.) Scholarships are available.

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.

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.

RAC will select thoughtful, playful art in the context of social, cultural expression and environmental sustainability. Such issues may include – but are not limited – cultural heritage, site history, ecological restoration, and the building of a sustainable future. Most importantly, projects should emphasize community enjoyment, engagement and participation.

The Railyard Park + Plaza was designed as a Cohesive Urban Art Environment and is a work of art in itself. RAC encourages a continuation of the collaborative spirit that remains at it’s core. 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.
