Partners in Art is a new rotating program of featured community partners, created in response to the necessary shutdowns of COVID-19. Partners in Art seeks to highlight the vital organizations in our community’s creative ecosystem, underscoring the need for generous and innovative collaborative efforts between arts institutions at this extraordinary moment in history. This is a free program offered by both Zane Bennett Contemporary Art and form & concept gallery; all proceeds from sales go directly to featured partners.

23 Sandy
Legendary online book arts gallery 23 Sandy recently changed owners. At the tail end of a remarkable mentorship, gallery founder Laura Russell handed the reigns to Santa Fe artist and former 23 Sandy employee Erin Mickelson. She recalls, "I said I should probably sleep on it, and then five minutes later, I was like, 'Yes, of course! How could I say no?'"
