MEMBERSHIP | January 2025

December was our biggest month for membership! Last month, we were busy fulfilling hundreds of memberships and gift memberships and brought in more than $90,000. Fiscal year-to-date membership is now at 53% of its FY25 goal.

Last month we also hosted a special tour of the Eating History exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum with Executive Director Billy Garrett and a small group of members were also treated to a guided tour of Saints and Santos at the New Mexico Museum of Art with Executive Director Mark White.

As we kick off 2025, we’re excited to share several engaging members-only events coming this spring. These include a Member Monday program in March, featuring the upcoming New Mexico Museum of Art exhibition on artist Eugenie Shonnard, and a special Member Preview for Makowa at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in May.

We’re also thrilled to announce some exciting staffing updates. Saro Calewarts has been promoted to Director of Marketing and Communications—congratulations, Saro!

In addition, we’re hiring! We are seeking a Junior Graphic Designer to assist Saro and a Membership Manager to join our team. Both positions are posted on our website—please help us spread the word!

Looking ahead, we’re wrapping up the spring edition of Member News magazine and finalizing details for our spring rejoin, new member, and upgrade campaigns.

Thank you for your continued support as we embark on an exciting year ahead!
