16th season ARTFeast

JOIN US FEBRUARY 22-24, 2013 FOR THIS WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA OF ART & CUISINE

A GREAT TIME FOR A CREATIVE CAUSE: Now in its 16th season, ARTfeast is heralded as one of the most inspired reasons for a getaway. The weekend of festivities celebrates the City Different's world-class chefs and restaurants, an international array of vintners, original designer fashions and unique homes, along with nationally and regionally prominent artists represented by Santa Fe galleries.

All of this fun and food helps young people develop the skills needed to creatively respond to life.

The first ARTfeast in 1998 included a handful of Santa Fe galleries that asked for donations during their Friday evening openings. Today, ARTfeast has grown to a weekend of artful events combined with sensational savories and drink, the proceeds from which benefit art programs for Santa Fe's youth.

WHO IS ARTSMART?

ARTsmart was founded in 1993 to address the lack of funding for art programs and supplies in Santa Fe public schools. In a city built on and sustained by the arts, ARTsmart is committed to funding the creative thinkers of tomorrow.

HOW DOES ARTSMART RAISE MONEY?

Every year ARTsmart organizes ARTfeast as its major fundraiser, along with a fall Golf Tournament. Contributions are made through ticket sales, event and program underwriters, donors, and the volunteerism of hundreds of businesses and educators. Additional funding is provided through grants and major donors.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

Through 2012, ARTsmart will have distributed over $1,000,000 to ARTsmart projects, public school programs, art related organizations and endowment funds.
