516 Arts

Youth Education516 ARTS expanded its youth education programs in 2024, serving over 750 students through in-school workshops, exhibition tours, youth-led art projects, youth exhibitions, and our 516 BRIDGES peer-to-peer program. This included partnerships with APS Title I schools and community groups to ensure inclusive, arts-based learning experiences focused on identity, place, and creative expression.

Fulcrum FundThe Fulcrum Fund, part of the Andy Warhol Foundations Regional Regranting Program, awarded $55,565 in direct grants to New Mexico-based artists for independent, public-facing projects. The process included an open call and a panel of national guest jurors. The program continues to support experimental, risk-taking practices outside traditional institutions.
