The makerspace has a home!


MAKE Santa Fe enters phase AND we've got a great central location, working with fantastic partners! We're locating in midtown Santa Fe with Meow Wolf and the House of Eternal Return Art Complex.

"We've seen the maker movement have a true economic impact in communities around the country. We know a makerspace is one of the key ingredients in fostering a positive entrepreneurial environment, manifesting creative business opportunities, and keeping pace with developing technologies,” says Mayor Javier M. Gonzales. “Last spring, I met with local business leaders for a strategy session and I pledged to have a community makerspace in Santa Fe within a year. We found the right people to make that happen, the right deliverables to ask for, and now we're making it real."
MAKE Santa Fe is proud to be included in the City of Santa Fe's constellation of economic development projects.

Santa Fean Hallie Brennan won the Lulzbot 3D printer used by MAKE Santa Fe in its pop-up demonstrations. Everyone who filled out a survey to determine what the community most needed in a makerspace was entered to win.
Synergy happens in Santa Fe when art and making combine. Locating the makerspace within the Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return Art Complex ensures that people inspired by the exhibition can jump right into making and that the Meow Wolf team continues to have tools and talent in its ongoing art, tech and business projects.
