SITE’s education and public programs seek to make contemporary art accessible to a wide and diverse audience, stimulate a high level of discourse, and explore multiple perspectives of art and culture on an international scale.

Through SITE’s education programs, we seek to be a platform for empowering and educating the next generation of museum professionals, artists, and advocates of art and culture.

SITE Zines
SITE Santa Fe’s Zine Program provided a unique opportunity for students to work directly with exhibitions and exhibiting artists to create handmade arts magazines reproduced and distributed at the museum. The Zine Program was a three-part project in which Ring Director of Education & Curator of Public Practice, Joanne Lefrak, visited the classroom to introduce the concepts behind SITE Santa Fe’s exhibition as well as, “zines,” handmade magazines that can be reproduced in a cost effective manner. The students then visited SITE Santa Fe for an in depth experience with the exhibition, often having the opportunity to work closely with one of the artists in the show to inspire their zine created back in the classroom. At the conclusion of the project, the zines were available to the public and distributed with SITE Santa Fe’s other printed materials.
