Thoughtful design goes beyond the walls.

As MADA comes to life, we're creating more than offices and studios—we're designing shared spaces that encourage collaboration, connection, and creativity. From intimate meeting rooms to larger gathering spaces, these buildings will support the incredible organizations that call MADA home while fostering a vibrant community where ideas can grow together.

The future of Midtown is built on shared vision and shared space.

We're honored to welcome the Santa Fe Indigenous Center as a Phase 1 partner at MADA.

This future home represents more than a new space—it's a commitment to creating a campus where culture, community, collaboration, and belonging are at the heart of everything we do.

As we prepare these iconic Ricardo Legorreta buildings for their next chapter, every decision is guided by a simple goal: preserve what makes these spaces extraordinary while creating welcoming, functional homes for the organizations and community they'll serve.

From restoring original architectural details to bringing in more light, upgrading infrastructure, and thoughtfully adapting each space, we're honoring the past while designing for the future.

The vision is taking shape, one room at a time.

It takes a community.

We're grateful to have partners like Jay Hennicke from Santa Fe YouthWorks, who share MADA's belief in the power of collaboration. This project is about bringing people together, creating opportunities, and building a lasting impact for generations to come.

When nonprofits, artists, educators, community leaders, and neighbors unite around a shared vision, incredible things can happen.

Thank you, Jay, for being part of this journey. Together, we're creating a creative campus that will inspire, empower, and serve our entire community.

A different perspective. A shared vision.

From the second floor of the iconic Ricardo Legorreta buildings, you can see just how much potential surrounds the Midtown campus. This isn't just about restoring beautiful architecture—it's about creating a destination where nonprofits, artists, entrepreneurs, and neighbors come together to shape Santa Fe's future.

Every view reminds us of what's possible, and we're excited to bring that vision to life.

Richard Martinez, Board Member of the Santa Fe Art Institute, has been part of the MADA vision from the very beginning. 🤍

Having worked alongside Jamie Blosser since the earliest conversations about the future of the Midtown campus, Richard has seen this vision grow from an idea into a transformative community project. It's inspiring to celebrate the people who have believed in Midtown from day one.
