James W. Johnson, executive director of Make Santa Fe, said the funds will support local creatives. Just like MeowWolf, Make Santa Fe stimulates artists and creative communities. Make Santa Fe uplifts local creatives by providing them access to high-end tools and a space to create.
“Make Santa Fe has a ‘nobody is turned away policy.’ This means that creatives and craftspeople in the Santa Fe community can gain access to our facility through volunteer trade or scholarship; MeowWolf is helping make that possible,” executive director Johnson said.
Make Santa Fe hosts several disciplines, including laser cutting, 3d printing, welding, CNC plasma cutting, CNC milling, woodworking, ceramics, sewing, blacksmithing, bronze casting, and more. They provide classes in each discipline, and members can use the facility whenever they’d like.
