516 ARTS presented various visual art exhibitions, performances, arts events, educational programs, workshops and public forums, in addition to a regional collaboration that brought together artists and scientists around the subject of endangered species and related environmental issues. Public programs included gallery talks with artists, curators and scientists, live music, poetry readings and other special events at the museum and around the city and region. Educational outreach programs continued to flourish including school tours, workshops and art education curriculum for teachers. Exhibits and programming reached a total direct audience of over 10,000 individuals and an indirect audience of over 100,000 who participated in social media or were exposed to murals, radio and TV interviews and media coverage of 516 ARTS. Our 2020 audience mirrored the unique ethnic, socio-economic and cultural mix of New Mexico and we actively reached out to these populations through varied program themes, partnerships with arts and community organizations, targeted marketing, free admission and outreach programs around each exhibition.
Fulcrum Fund516 ARTS' Fulcrum Fund grant program, part of the Regional Regranting Program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, provides grants to individual, unincorporated, local artists for their own independent art projects. 516 ARTS administers an annual process that includes a call for proposals and selection by guest jurors. This program aims serve as springboards for artistic processes that are adventurous, experimental and forward thinking, while celebrating projects that do not fit into the traditional museum and gallery systems.
