Membership | September 2025

As summer winds down and Santa Fe’s busy event and market season comes to an end, the Foundation and museums are gearing up for a fall filled with engaging exhibitions and events for members. On Thursday, September 25, we will host a First Look and Member Preview for Gustave Baumann: The Artist’s Environment at the New Mexico Museum of Art. This anticipated series of exhibitions surveys Baumann’s artistic career, exploring key themes in his work through multiple perspectives. Best known for his enchanting woodblock prints, Baumann was a remarkably versatile artist whose creative legacy remains immense. Speaking of Baumann, the fall edition of Member News features an in-depth article on this much-anticipated exhibition.

On the revenue side, General Membership is off to a strong start just two months into the fiscal year. As of August 31, we’ve brought in $127,000 toward our $180,000 goal. In September, we’ll roll out our renewal series and launch our fall rejoin campaigns, inviting lapsed members to return and enjoy their benefits once again. Also this fall, keep an eye out for our community membership promotion—featured on the big screens at Sky Cinemas (formerly Violet Crown) and in the pages of our in-kind print partners, including Edible, Santa Fe Magazine, Southwest Art Advisory, Southwest Contemporary, TABLE Magazine, and more. We look forward to seeing you at the museums this season!
