New Mexico Arts is the state arts agency and a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs. The 15-member governor-appointed New Mexico Arts Commission serves as our advisory body. Our primary function is to provide financial support for arts services and programs to non-profit organizations statewide and to administer the 1% public art program for the state of New Mexico. Our mission is to preserve, enhance, and develop the arts in New Mexico through partnerships, public Awareness, and education, and to enrich the quality of life for present and future generations.
