Grantees

Grantees Funded by New Mexico Arts

The New Mexico Music Commission, in conjunction with New Mexico Arts (NMArts), a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, supports New Mexico music organizations and artists through grant funding. During the 2021 fiscal year, $1,080,000 in grants were awarded to 194 New Mexico arts organizations and 7 folk art apprenticeships located in twenty-three of the state’s thirty-three counties. Approximately 120 of these organizations are music-related. Grants ranged in size from approximately $2,500 to $7,000. By mandate of the New Mexico State Legislature, 35% of State Arts grant funding must be allocated to rural communities. Rural, as defined by the Legislature, is a population of under 25,000 residents.
