The Arts play an important role in Santa Fe and around the world in enriching, inspiring, and educating audiences with diverse backgrounds.
The Foundation started funding this cause because of the drastic cuts to arts in public education. By supplementing nonprofit organizations passionate about providing programs for our children in the arts, The Santa Fe Rotary Foundation for the Arts raises money by having a gala event honoring a nationally-known local artist.
