You are invited to the SFAI Holiday Open House and a special performance by SFAI Revolution artist Kamara Thomas & her Band of Toughs!

Join us for our 2nd Annual Holiday Open House on December 9th from 5-8pm, with Kamara & the Band of Toughs’ site-specific, musical storytelling performance starting at 6:30. We will have nosh, warm drinks, and art for purchase by local artists.

Kamara Thomas is a singer, songspeller, mythology fanatic and multidisciplinary storyteller based in Durham, NC. She is currently developing “Tularosa: An American Dreamtime'' in collaboration with the Boulder, CO-based theater company Band of Toughs. Based on her 2022 eponymous album and song-cycle, the staged storywork interrogates the mythology of the American West as it seeks to unearth, reinvent and heal the American mythologies that underpin collective cultural identity. The storywork will be the final, integrative installment of a series of experimental, multidisciplinary works including #9 - a pandemic performance for nine social-distancers (2020), the videos Good Luck America (2018) and Oh Gallows (2016), and Soapbox (2018), a community-based agitprop performance that traveled throughout public spaces in downtown Durham.

Dear Community,

It has been a revolutionary year at the Santa Fe Art Institute! From the relaunch of our SFAI140 events to a robust Midtown Public Engagement process to launching our Black, Indigenous, Person of Color (BIPOC) Award Program, we have been inspired by the people that make up our incredible community. As we close out our 2022 theme of Revolution, we would like to take this opportunity to say we are so grateful to have you as part of this community.

In fact, we rely on your support to do the work we do! This Giving Tuesday, we ask for your help to close the gap of $7,400 so that we can meet our annual goal and look forward to our 2023 Changing Climate thematic year!

Your donation of any amount ensures that SFAI can continue to keep our residency free and accessible while providing the quality of time, space, and programming that artists need to explore critical and controversial issues while making important local, national, and international connections. Your support makes our work possible and we are deeply grateful to be in community with you.
