Welcome to the improv that is the New Mexico School for the Arts.
Improvisation has been the name of the game since the state charter high school opened in a former Catholic elementary school in 2010. The school moved into the former Sanbusco Market Center in 2019.
In the first year at Sanbusco, the paseo of the former shopping center served as the dining area. So far, there hasnât been a second year for students on campus.
