Creative Industries Week is set to electrify New Mexico from June 3 to 9, showcasing the state’s rich tapestry of creativity and innovation. This unprecedented celebration, organized by the New Mexico Economic Development Department’s newly established Creative Industries Division (CID) and Santa Fe-based Creative Startups, promises a week filled with live events and festivals spanning communities statewide, creative showcases and workshops, and online panels featuring 50+ speakers representing community leaders, higher education experts, entrepreneurs, economic developers, creatives, and technologists.
“Growing jobs and boosting investment in creative industries is a key goal for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and state lawmakers as we diversify New Mexico’s economy,” Acting EDD Cabinet Secretary Mark Roper said. “As EDD comes together with our partners for Creative Industries Week, we want to celebrate our successes and connect creative entrepreneurs and businesses as the state identifies the framework for the Creative Industries Division and launches new economic development initiatives."
