As with all things in this time of change, some might say paradigm shii, publishing a book is no longer the act of generating words that become frozen in time. With our technologies and activist thought leaders, content specialists, editors and colleagues working every day with community members, our chapters evolved dramatically since our advance review copy edition was published. Once COVID-19 was acknowledged as a global pandemic, the reviews of our 100% Community model, espe- cially the focus on ensuring medical care and other survival services took on a sense of urgency. Suddenly, state and local leaders saw how vital it was to ensure such services exist for everyone—as suddenly people from across all income groups, in both urban and rural settings, expressed a profound sense of vulnerability.

  • Impact Report 2019 in 2008, a Group of Artists Came Together As a Diy Art Collective to Create Art and Community in Santa Fe, New Mexico
    IMPACT REPORT 2019 IN 2008, A GROUP OF ARTISTS CAME TOGETHER AS A DIY ART COLLECTIVE TO CREATE ART AND COMMUNITY IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO. We formed Meow Wolf to provide a supportive and creative home to artists of all kinds. Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return opened its doors in 2016 after more than 200 artists helped achieve the 30,000-square-foot art installation. Our 500,000+ visitors per year are encouraged to explore, play, and take in a new kind of immersive storytelling experience. Now, we are home to nearly 500 artists across all disciplines, including architecture, sculpture, fabrication, painting, photography, video production, virtual and augmented reality, music and audio engineering, narrative writing, costuming, performance, art education, and more. We believe that artists should be paid and benefitted the same as any high-demand professional, and that successful companies should provide long-term support to their communities. For us, support looks like continually opening new portals for our creative community—in Santa Fe, Las Vegas, Denver, Washington D.C., Phoenix, and beyond—to explore, create, and dream big for creative community impact. As we build and grow, Meow Wolf is making a commitment to our guests, employees, neighbors, and planet that we will be leaders in responsible business practices. We aspire to transform the meaning of ‘business as usual’ to include improving the quality of life for local community members while being an environmental steward. These are not side commitments; they are central components of our business model, which is why we certified as a B Corporation in 2017 and continue to grow and hone our impact.

  • State-Legislature-Sf
    STATE LEGISLATURE Many key state Legislature races lack clear winner • By Robert Nott [email protected] Nov 4, 2020 Updated Nov 4, 2020 Leo Jaramillo throws his hands into the air Tuesday as Roger Montoya, his friends and colleagues finish singing 'Las Mañanitas' after surprising him for his birthday. Jaramillo, a Democrat running for Senate District 5, was awaiting results for his race alongside Montoya. Gabriela Campos/The New Mexican While a number of key legislative races lacked a clear winner late Tuesday night, early results of the general election indicated a progressive wave some Democrats were hoping for in the state Senate instead might be a small splash. Republicans challenging progressive Democrats in at least two Senate races were ahead. Pam Cordova and Neomi Martinez-Parra, who had ousted conservative Democratic incumbent Sens. Clemente Sanchez of Grants and John Arthur Smith of Deming in the June primary, were trailing their Republican opponents by 11 p.m. Tuesday. Joshua Sanchez was winning with 61 percent of the votes in the Senate District 30 race against Cordova, while Crystal Diamond had 58 percent of the votes in her race against Martinez-Parra in Senate District 35. Still, Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, said he believed his party would hold its 26-16 majority in the chamber — and maybe pick up a seat or two by the time all the votes were counted. “it’s looking pretty similar in terms of our numbers but very different in terms of membership — lots of new faces,” he said, referring to many newcomers likely to win races in both parties.
