About Virtual LemonAid

New Mexico has always been a vibrant beacon of arts and culture. Santa Fe specifically is recognized globally for its diverse and accomplished arts communities -- visual, music, performing, culinary, film, and more. COVID-19 has already had a devastating impact on our community, and we fear the worst is yet to come.

A small team of community leaders led by Creative Santa Fe has come together to make a difference. Our team, which includes Noise for Now, Bernlore, Whisper to a Dream, Filmindie, and Rook SEO hosted a major multidisciplinary digital arts festival leveraging the creative talent of our region to raise critical funds to provide aid and support to those most in need in our community.

20% of all funds raised during the screenings were split evenly between participating artists. The remaining 80% were divided between the All Together New Mexico Fund and the Santa Fe County Connect Fund. Both funds address the immediate needs of New Mexicans affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

 

WE REACHED OUR GOAL OF $50,000! THANK YOU DONORS!
