  • Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico
    Building on the Past, Facing the Future: Renewing the Creative Economy of New Mexico Jeffrey Mitchell And Gillian Joyce With Steven Hill And Ashley M. Hooper 2014 This report was commissioned by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and prepared by UNM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. As will be discussed in this report, we interviewed arts and culture workers and entrepreneurs across the state of New Mexico. We asked them for two words to describe New Mexico in general and for two words to describe how New Mexico has changed. We entered these data into a ’word cloud’ software program. The program visually represents the data so that the more often a word is mentioned, the larger it appears. The figure above is a representation of the words offered by members of the New Mexico creative economy when interviewed for this project. Acknowledgements We would like to thank Secretary Veronica Gonzales for her vision – without her, this project would not have been possible. Also, at the Department of Cultural Affairs we would like to thank Anne Green-Romig, Loie Fecteau and Paulius Narbutas for their support and patience. At the Department of Tourism, we would like to thank Jim Orr for his help with tourism data. We owe a debt of gratitude to the more than 200 arts and culture workers throughout the state who took time out of their days to offer their insights and experiences in the arts and culture industries of New Mexico. At UNM-BBER, we would like to thank Jessica Hitch for her intrepid data collection, Catherine A.

Of those who did know that New Mexico produces wine, most thought it only as novelty wines and non‐award winning New Mexico wines have only 4‐6% market share within our own state. This provided the industry an opportunity for growth. The initial purpose for this project was to create awareness, education, and knowledge of the New Mexico wine industry by actively engaging novice and potential wine consumers in an open and casual exchange.

Before these pastimes appeared, traders and farmers settled in the area for agricultural pursuits. Later, workers arrived to build railroads and conduct research at Sandia National Laboratories aand the University of New Mexico. Meanwhile, Santa Fe developed into a tourist and upscale-dining mecca. But now the Albuquerque area boasts a range of visitor activities and a bustling food and beverage scene. At Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm located a few miles from downtown Albuquerque, executive chef Jonathan Perno takes a broad view of the area’s culinary offerings. “We have coined the term ‘Rio Grande Valley Cuisine,’ which best represents our style of food. It’s not ‘Southwestern’ or ‘New Mexican’ food, although we feature many native ingredients like green and red chiles, native beans and corn,” says Perno. Even McDonald’s menus the area’s culinary history with green chile burgers. Traditional dishes such as blue corn pancakes, bolitos and roasted green chile stew highlight the Native American, Mexican and Spanish influences on Albuquerque cuisine. Yet modern touches, from foie gras confit au torchon to pistachio-crusted vegetarian steak, appear on the area’s menus. The Spanish-influenced food at Lucia in the downtown Hotel Andaluz highlights paella Valenciana as a featured starter.
