Founded in 2010 and based in Santa Fe, New Mexico School for the Arts (NMSA) is the state’s only tuition-free, statewide-enrolling, public charter arts high school, offering young artists a unique dual-curriculum program. NMSA integrates a college-preparatory academic education with intensive pre-professional arts training. While NMSA’s academic programming is funded by New Mexico public school dollars, its arts training and statewide community engagement programs are overseen and funded by NMSA – Art Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of individual and institutional donors.
