ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Artists have been struggling during the pandemic.
Many of the big public markets they rely on to make money have been closed.
Claude Smith, who is with 516 Arts, is one of many that have been working to support artists during the pandemic. If artists lose the opportunity to make and create then, in a sense, we re losing culture, he said.
516 Arts typically helps to grow the art community, but for the past year, the organization has been trying to help the community survive with the Fulcrum Fund.
Directly supporting the individuals, some might not be in our community directly, but they re still kind of family, I guess you could say, Smith said. Artists in New Mexico are people we care deeply about.
