FOUNDATION AWARDS ALBUQUERQUE ORGANIZATION AN ART MUSEUM FUTURES FUND GRANT
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque an Art Museum Futures Fund grant in the amount of $200,000. The gift will be used to hire new positions and bolster NHCC’s technological infrastructure, public engagement, and bilingual arts education programs. “With the support of the Mellon Foundation, we will be able to actively fulfill our mission to showcase the artworks of diverse Latinx artists, center meaningful community representation, hold space for untold stories, and challenge exclusionary discourse about the role of artists of color in American art in order to contribute to narrative change in the interest of a more equitable and socially just world,” said Director of the Art Museum and Visual Arts Program Tey Marianna Nunn in a press release. The funds will be used to employ the services of a web developer to update the NHCC website and work with the eMuseum database interface to create virtual exhibitions and programming; fill a public relations, marketing, and social media manager position; hire a bilingual arts educator/gallery assistant; and hire admissions staff for the NHCC Art Museum. nhccnm.org
