The Tilt Podcast has brought you thought-provoking interviews, field reports and performances from our resident alumni and community partners for the past two years. As our small but mighty staff is planning many exciting programs in 2022, including the return of in-person events and a nearly full house of local, national, and international residents, we also are taking some time to chart the course for Tilt.
As we do so, we are pausing the monthly podcast – but in the meantime, be sure to visit our events calendar for more information on all of our programming this year, including the long-awaited return of SFAI 140. Thank you for your continued support of Santa Fe Art Institute and we hope to see you here in 2022!

SFAI and Littleglobe are two Santa Fe-based arts nonprofits committed to collaboration as a way to more deeply support artists, creative practitioners, culture bearers and the broader Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico community. “Santa Fe Stories from the Inside Out” are a collection of Littleglobe TV (LGTV) episodes and SFAI Tilt podcasts that bring to the surface the histories and experiences of the people who make Santa Fe a diverse, creative place to live and work.

This program is made possible in part with the support from the New Mexico Humanities Council.

Partially funded by the City of Santa Fe Arts & Culture Department and the 1% Lodgers Tax.
As SFAI navigates these uncertain times, we face new fiscal challenges. We are seeking support for this programming and ongoing operational costs — a portion of these donations will go to participating artists.

WALKING MIDTOWN
APRIL 22
Walking Midtown explores the liminality of edges and perimeters – the physical realities and poetical possibilities of the Midtown Site where the Santa Fe Art Institute is located. How does containment – walls, fences, dry acequias, and roads – create different barriers or opportunities? The experiences of the perimeter are addressed in conversations with SFAI alumni Hakim Bellamy and Ehren Kee Natay, who walk the site with Tilt producer Kourtney Andar.

The College of Santa Fe and Santa Fe University Art and Design (SFUAD) has been a place of learning and teaching for so many people over the decades. In Episode 11, we explore the Midtown property as a place of personal growth, opportunity and bonding, art-making and performance, and a growing center for film, among many other things.
