Program endeavors to inspire New Mexico communities to seek out partnerships with the University of New Mexico that enrich their community's artistic, cultural and environmental experiences. We are interested in the State's youth, community and economic development needs. Our mission is to develop service and relational arts practices that re-position the arts as a catalyst for community vitality through partnership learning between communities and the university. Our goal is to prepare our students for the career challenges that socially committed artists face.

further resources

  • The important things to know: the electronic resources that the university

subscribes to are for current students and staff members only. They can be used in college via a university network computer and outside of college using either your network login or your Athens login, when prompted, (see below for explanation of Athens) depending on what resources you want to use.

Links to all e-resources can be found on the "E-Library" page: http://www.arts.ac.uk/library/e-library.htm

Instructions for setting up an Athens account can be found here: http://www.arts.ac.uk/library/e-resources/athens.htm

(Athens is a website that, once registered, you can access outside the university network. It gives you access to electronic journals and databases - v. good for finding articles on artists who don't even have exhibition catalogues available).
