About EMA

Catalyzing a Community of Visionaries and Makers

Santa Fe is home to an incredible community of artists, scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs. Though many are well known and making an impressive mark on the world, many others are relatively undiscovered. The Emerging Media Alliance (EMA) is a tight-knit network of Santa Fe’s most brilliant minds and impactful community members that pools resources and launches efforts to unify and amplify the world-changing work that is already happening in and around The City Different.

Members of EMA enjoy important benefits, most notably access to a powerful and supportive network. Further, EMA will provide marketing and promotional support to artists and institutions in this field.

Reinventing a Famous Art Destination

Something beautiful and extraordinary is happening in Santa Fe. For generations Santa Fe has attracted artists, writers, and thinkers who sought the natural beauty, rich culture, and inherent magic of this special place. For the last century, Santa Fe rightfully earned a beloved reputation as a leading international destination for fine art and handmade crafts.

On the shoulders of legends from this exceptional and deep community, EMA launches a new Santa Fe: a city bursting with experimental art, youth culture, and a vibrancy that is only beginning to attract the international recognition it deserves.

Through comprehensive marketing and communications, EMA puts an international spotlight on a new generation of Santa Fe artists and makers.This will redefine the public image of Santa Fe and keep us fresh and relevant to new generations.
