Seeking to understand who we are, who we were and who we aspire to be
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY
Until further notice, NMHC will not be taking requests for Speakers Bureau programs or making grants. This action is taken in response to the termination of our general operating support grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. You may, however, still choose to purchase tickets and attend our Visionary Voices program in Albuquerque (April 12th) or Las Cruces (April 13th). We also invite you to attend the State competition for National History Day in New Mexico on April 11th.
The New Mexico Humanities Council engages New Mexicans with the humanities through cultural traditions, reflecting on history, storytelling and more.
