Southwest Contemporary is the leading resource for contemporary arts and culture in the Southwest, headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since 2019. The outlet publishes curated and critical perspectives on contemporary arts and culture throughout the region, supports Southwest-based artists and arts organizations through print and digital platforms, and produces events and programming to advance creative work. In print, Southwest Contemporary publishes a biannual magazine and the annual New Mexico Field Guide, an arts and culture guide to the state. Its website publishes weekly arts news, an art events calendar, and a classifieds page listing opportunities for artists and the broader creative sector. The organization builds on the legacy of its predecessor publication, The Magazine, which ran from 1992 to 2019.
