At Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI), we are artists, innovative thinkers, and engaged citizens. We cultivate creative leadership and invest in community, culture, and place to reimagine a more equitable world.

We fulfill our mission through our thematic artist residencies and fellowship programs, workshops and trainings, community projects, and events. Our programming revolves around an annual theme, which focuses on social issues that are relevant to Santa Fe and New Mexico, but which have relevance nationally and internationally. Past themes include Food Justice, Immigration/Emigration, Water Rights, and Equal Justice. Our current 2018/2019 theme is Truth & Reconciliation.
