Coming in 2014! Help us choose a name for the Live Events Calendar and Arts & Culture Website.
The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County metro area soon will have a new online comprehensive events calendar that is expected to become the premiere website for seeking out what is happening in our community.

Artists, Do You Have Health Insurance?



The Future of Music Coalition, the Artists' Health Insurance Resource Center and Fractured Atlas are conducting a survey of US-based artists about their access to health insurance. They are gathering data in order to be able to better inform artists of their care options under the Affordable Care Act.
Please help us get the word out and share this survey with your network of artists!  This is a critical moment to capture baseline data from US artists about their access to health insurance - the last day to participate is this Saturday, Aug 31.

516 ARTS Call for Art




516 ARTS announces a call for proposals from visual and performing artists for Digital Latin America, an international exhibition with a weekend symposium and Downtown Block Party, all taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project is an outgrowth of the Latin American Forum for the award-winning International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA2012) produced by 516 ARTS last fall (www.isea2012.org). Digital Latin America explores the North/South axis of cultural development and exchange between South America, Central America and the Southwestern United States, with a focus on New Mexico as the Northern tip of Latin America. It looks at the ways in which artists negotiate the complex terrain between global and local, virtual and real, and political and private, in the creation of work that proposes alternative understandings of technology, art and cultural exchange.
Deadline for submissions is September 27, 2013.

Get all the information on the 516 ARTS website.
