Happy Juneteenth 2024 from Santa Fe! We had an amazing day celebrating Juneteenth (considered the “longest-running African-American holiday and a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans) on the plaza in Downtown Santa Fe. The day included great music, food, vendors and booths, a proclamation from the Mayor, a history of Juneteenth to keep this day’s importance centered and so much community love and togetherness. @vitalspacesnm is proud to have led the charge on this event with all of our sponsors (@lensic360 , @santafeartsandculture , Santa Fe NAACP, Empower! Black Futures Community Fund, @nm_oaaa , Soul Food, @webstercollection , @meow__wolf ) partners, staff, volunteers and friends. Special thanks to @gaaronteed_fresh for shooting, editing and producing this video! ✊🏾❤️#juneteenth

I’m (very nervously 😅) hosting this discussion tonight with @greenbergshira for Creative Industries week on “Creative Entrepreneurship for Social Impact.” Looking forward to sharing and learning and thinking about new sustainable ways and models to do good in this world. Join us? Link in bio! Here is the description:
Creative leaders understand that value is about more than money. Creative entrepreneurs are often community organizers with a keen eye for impact metrics that go beyond the dollar. Join Vital Spaces Executive Director Raashan Ahmad and Keshet Dance Company Artistic Director Shira Greenberg for a curious and openhearted discussion about the potential of creative entrepreneurship for social impact. #creativeeconomy#socialimpact#creativeentrepreneur#communitymatters#newmexicocreatives

Anyone have big art?! We are partnering with @violetcrown_santafe in the Railyard in some big ways (more on all the ways soon…) and are looking for art to display in this room. Due to the size of the space and the required position of the hanging work, we ask that the work be large (36x36 inches or 3x3 feet, minimum) and be ready to be hung (with a wire on the back and ideally, framed). Work must be ready to be installed the first week of June. Are you interested or know someone who might be? Follow the link in our bio for more info and to apply!
