NMSA NEWS RELEASE
New Mexicans can raise their hand for the arts and help students make their creative mark on the universe. On May 21 at 5 p.m., New Mexico School for the Arts will hold its 12th annual ArtSpring event, consisting of a live student performance and benefit celebration, all taking place for the first time at the school’s new campus at the Santa Fe Railyard.
The live performance – the first since 2019 – is the culmination of years of creative work from students representing all five major arts disciplines at NMSA: creative writing and literature, dance, music, theatre, and visual arts. The evening will begin with a series of pop-up performances, and concludes with a locally-catered dinner.
“The students are thrilled! One thing the pandemic has made clear: sharing our artwork with people in person is truly elevating ,” said Karen Hean, Visual Arts Department Chair. “We are so looking forward to sharing our exhibit, & everything in tandem, with ArtSpring attendees; many visual artist seniors will be in attendance to offer greater insight into each personal project’s inspiration and process.”
