Born from the loss of income many artists faced in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund (UETF) used a reimbursement from the Federal CARES Act to create a completely new program: The Resiliency Residency Grant. This "at-home" Residency would serve as a boost for ninety artists across Albuquerque and across all art forms. To bring this program to life, the UETF partnered with five local nonprofits centered on arts, culture, and community: AfroMundo/The Dellsly Group, FUSION, Keshet Center for the Arts, The National Institute of Flamenco, and Puha Hubiya. These partner organizations have provided so much to all of our Residency artists--offering their support and guidance to artists of all kinds: visual to performing, emerging to established.
Many of the UETF Residency projects used this small grant as a jumping off point and were able to receive funding from other sources to bring their vision to life. There have been plays, dance pieces, books written, research performed, and festivals produced. This small grant has grown to include so many more people and artists than the ninety who were originally approved. Putting money back into Albuquerque's artistic community serves all of us.
