SITE Santa Fe Launch the 2013 Education Drive
As art programs have been cut from school curricula, museum programs are filling a new role in the education system. SITE’s education programs provide unique opportunities for high school, college and graduate students, and adults. SITE’s education team serves over 5,000 students in Northern New Mexico, SITE Guides tour 20,000 people a year, and 1,200 people attend SITE’s public programs annually.
During the month of September, an anonymous family foundation will match contributions up to $7,500, so every dollar you contribute is doubled! Please consider making a contribution now!
