MAKE Santa Fe is a 501(c)3 non-profit community workspace where people can access tools, resources, and workshops to make, repair, invent, or create anything they can dream.
It’s like a gym but with powerful tools instead of exercise equipment and skilled craftspeople instead of personal trainers. We invite you to join us and exercise your creativity.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
Moreover, the presence of world-class scientific institutions has endowed the area with top minds working on the frontiers of the digital age in both industry and science.
In addition, the creative class in Santa Fe is a key driving force throughout Santa Fe’s history, and it holds remarkable promise for the city’s future.
MAKE Santa Fe’s goal is to catalyze this creative class by providing an easy means for collaborative creativity in art, craft, industry, and science.
MAKE Santa Fe is motivated by the maker movement; we leverage digital technologies to remake manufacturing and job skills while reconnecting makers to their roots in creative problem-solving.
Today’s makers take advantage of technological and cultural shifts, allowing them to design, prototype, manufacture, and distribute their creative output quickly. These makers are our members.
Land Acknowledgement
Make Santa Fe recognizes that the land we create upon is the traditional territory known as Oga Po’geh, or White Shell Water Place. This is the homeland of the Northern and Southern Tewa (Tanos) people. We also acknowledge our neighboring Indigenous communities, including Nambe Pueblo, the Jicarilla Apache, the Diné (Navajo), Cochiti, Taos, and Hopi Pueblos, whose histories and cultures remain deeply connected to this region.
We honor the generations of Indigenous peoples who have lived, created, and cared for this land long before us and continue to do so today. Many of the crafts, materials, and creative practices we engage with at Make (ceramics, metalwork, weaving, woodworking, and beyond) are rooted in Indigenous knowledge and tradition. We respect and acknowledge these origins and the living cultures that continue to shape them.
This acknowledgment is not a substitute for relationship or action, it is a commitment to learning, listening, and building authentic partnerships with Indigenous communities.
As a makerspace rooted in creativity and collaboration, we strive to recognize and undo colonial patterns in how we make, teach, and share. Our work is ongoing, and we approach it with respect, humility, and gratitude.
