Currents Fundraiser!

Posted on Posted in art, Currents, Events, Santa Fe, video artTagged , , , Leave a comment

For my birthday this year, I am raising money for Currents New Media. I’ve had a wonderful experience this last year being on the Board, and this year’s festival should be even more exciting! Currents is re-committing to local artists for the 2023 festival, with an increased emphasis on performance. There *might* even be an underwater piece at the Chavez Center (🤯). So please consider supporting this fabulous New Mexico Arts organization with me for 2023!

There is a fundraiser on my Facebook page, or you can donate directly to Currents through their website. Or, even consider becoming a Patreon member!

Parallel Studios, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been producing, curating, and designing small- and large-scale video exhibitions in Santa Fe since 2002. In 2010, we launched CURRENTS NEW MEDIA as an annual, citywide event. The festival brings together the work of established and emerging new media artists, from New Mexico, the United States, and across the world for events showcasing interactive and non-interactive installations, multimedia performances, VR and AR environments, single channel video, animation, experimental documentary, web based/app art forms, robotics and 3D printing. Parallel Studios reaches out to local high and middle school students through its Youth Media Makers Program.

CURRENTS New Media Fundraiser

For my birthday, I’m asking for donations to Currents New Media. I’m a new member of their board of directors (!), and they face some unique challenges this year, since the festival will not be returning to their previous location at El Museo. The hunt for the perfect new spot (or several spots) is underway! This will probably involve hiring more staff than in previous years, as well as more complex logistics, due to covid precautions.

For those who don’t know, the Currents New Media festival has been taking place in Santa Fe for the last ten years. It is an international festival that seeks to showcase some of the best and most innovative combinations of technology and art. I joined the board because I’m basically just a huge fangirl of the festival and I wanted to be involved in some way.

Here is a little bit more about them, or you can check out the website:

The installation is available by appointment in Santa Fe, NM until February 8th 2021. E-mail msagan1035@aol.com or call 505-231-1922 to schedule a viewing.
