“This year’s awards once again highlight the diversity of artists and contributors in Santa Fe, by honoring those who create art as well as those who work to ensure access for all of the community,” states Mayor Gonzales. “It is my privilege to recognize each of them for their unique contributions.”

The selections are made based on careful consideration of community-generated nominations and shine a spotlight on the incredible work artists and others are doing in our community and the ever-increasing importance of the arts to Santa Fe.
