Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Sunday, July 20, 2025.
It is a beautiful start to the week here in the City Different, and there are plenty of stories and events shaping our community today. First, a quick bit of state news with a Santa Fe connection: the New Mexico Economic Development Department has just awarded Navitas Global an eight hundred thousand dollar grant to create jobs and invest in sustainable energy right here in New Mexico. While the production facility is based in Portales, the ripple effect of green innovation and job growth is something Santa Feans should keep an eye on as this initiative could mean more business partnerships and eco-conscious investment headed our way.
For those looking to get out and enjoy Santa Fe’s vibrant arts scene, you have some stellar options. The Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum continues its major exhibition “100 Years of Collecting, 100 Years of Connecting,” running through December 13. This showcase displays over four thousand objects and celebrates a century of Hispanic arts right here in New Mexico. Connoisseurs of contemporary art should stop by the “Terra Madre” exhibition featuring Katrina Bello’s evocative works exploring memory, the land, and identity, and “Markings from Fire,” a multimedia show reflecting on wildfire and the human relationship with nature. Both are must-visits for anyone seeking both inspiration and reflection this summer.
Later today, don’t miss the Old Santa Fe Association’s annual Summer Party from four to seven at the historic Irene von Horvath House and Garden on Canyon Road. Expect lively conversation, refreshments, and maybe even a few surprises as the community comes together to support Santa Fe’s heritage and creative spirit.
If you’re searching for a way to wind down your weekend, Santa Fe Brewing Company HQ is hosting an afternoon and evening event—vendors will be open until eight with music and community running through ten. It’s a great place to meet friends, sample local flavors, and soak up the city’s summer energy.
On a more somber note, the Santa Fe community mourns the recent passing of Barbara Bell LaMont, a lifelong Santa Fean, dedicated mother, and cherished member of our town who left us on July seventeenth at seventy-six. Her legacy is felt through her service and family, and our thoughts are with her loved ones at this time.
Finally, a reminder from the New Mexico Department of Transportation: their “Are You Serious?” campaign is in full swing, urging us all to be smarter and safer on the roads this summer. In 2023, an alcohol-involved crash happened in New Mexico every four hours, with one hundred sixty-four lives lost. The NMDOT hopes to change those numbers with humor, awareness, and your participation. Please take care when getting around and help keep Santa Fe safe.
That’s your roundup for today, filled with local happenings, heartfelt farewells, and reminders to stay connected and conscious as we move through another summer day together. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
