COVID-19 PSAs
In September 2021, Music Commission Chair Carlos Medina invited commissioners to produce COVID safe practices and vaccination public service announcements with the goal of encouraging the New Mexico music industry and its patrons to return safely to live music performances. PSAs feature music commissioners and artists from the private sector.
