Collaboration Lab

The Collaboration Lab was a series of five weekly events held in July 2025 at the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Santa Fe, co-hosted by CCA Santa Fe and ArtBridge, and sponsored by Santa Fe Arts. The initiative brought together arts leaders from across Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico to collectively address the crucial need for creative partnerships and innovative solutions within the arts community.

Each Wednesday evening featured panel discussions moderated by ArtBridge Executive Director/ArtStorming Podcast Host Lili Pierrepont, exploring challenges such as funding cuts, evolving audience engagement, and adapting to new realities. Attendees had opportunities to network with local arts organizations, and each session included brief performances by talented artists. The series culminated in a facilitated brainstorming session on July 30th, dedicated to identifying potential partnerships and outlining actionable next steps. All sessions were recorded for the ArtStorming podcast.
