Built on collaboration
A few weeks ago, we invited an intimate group of our supporters, collaborators and new friends to join us for an evening of generative conversation. Second Street Brewery generously offered space at their Rufina Taproom for our group to discuss program ideas, sponsorship models, and community partnerships for the coming year. Thank you to everyone who participated! Your enthusiasm for shared learning and interdisciplinary thinking inspires the work that we do.
Want to join the conversation? We would love to hear from you. Feedback on existing programs or collaboration ideas is highly encouraged!

From off in left field I will admit that I have a secret love affair with roundabouts. I think more roundabouts hereandthereabouts would be good for Santa Fe.
Love this idea! And thank you for becoming a paid subscriber!
