SPREAD 6.0 Shows Community Artistic Talent, and Picks a Winner

Small grants for big ideas. SITE Santa Fe is proud to present SPREAD, a new micro-granting initiative that will provide small grants for innovative projects conceived by New Mexico-based artists. Spread 6.0 came off last Friday at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market to a capacity crowd, and delivered a $7,705 purse to artist Paula Castillo for a project to retain New Mexico arroyos with salvaged concrete.

The other contestants were DRY MTN, Erin Mickelson, Cristina Gonzales, Linda Swanson, Jamie Hamilton, Erin Fussell, and Jon Moritsugu. Meow Wolf made a cameo appearance to announce it was granting $500 to each of the contestants who presented.
