Finding Certainty in Uncertain Times

Join us for a day of learning - from experts and from each other. We could be the heroes we’ve been waiting for!

Is the need for your nonprofit growing? Is your funding stream in jeopardy? Are you struggling to get the help you need to deliver on your mission? As individual nonprofit leaders, we face uncertainty now more than ever. But together, we possess the expertise, the connections, and the resources to thrive.

This year’s summit features more opportunities for targeted networking. Have breakfast with nonprofit leaders who are struggling with the same problems you are. Have lunch with a local expert in marketing, fundraising, coalition building, board development, or staff engagement.

Breakout sessions will address the topics that keep you up at night, such as:

How to boost fundraising to collaborate with other nonprofits to better engage and retain your nonprofit's staff.

The registration fee of $35 includes breakfast, lunch, snacks and peace of mind.

Show Statement:
"Like many artists who have come to New Mexico, I was immediately drawn to the distinctive Southwestern light. The beauty of the natural environment is evident to most people; however, my interest was to explore the more banal peripheral landscapes that often go unnoticed by the casual observer. I began by photographing color fields and geometric shapes. I was interested in the way light and shadow could spark complex narratives, and I quickly became aware that these isolated moments in the suburban landscape were rich with metaphor. Closed and open doors, empty parking lots and forgotten swimming pools drew me to a scene; yet it was my reactions to these objects and spaces that elicited interpretation and projection.

"As a psychotherapist, I learned the art of asking the question – in many ways, these photographs are an extension of that work. The symbols and spaces in my images are an invitation to explore a rich world that is concealed from consciousness. And the scenes are an enticement to contemplate narratives that have no remarkable life or history yet tap into something deeply familiar to our experience; often disturbing, sometimes amusing…unquestionably present."

Lacuna presents new works from Alison Altafi that explore the space between presence and absence, form and dissolution, memory and dream. Inspired by the cosmos, fairytale, myth and the endless cycles of time, Lacuna invites viewers to consider the space not as emptiness, but as a site of possibility, memory and soft transformation.

Reception Date: October 3, 5-7 p.m.

Set in the layered world of Najee Dorsey’s Poor People’s Campaign is a powerful collection of work grounded in the environmental struggles of today’s impoverished communities. Blending Southern nostalgia with digitally collaged speculative futures, Dorsey’s work unveils a future shaped by environmental racism, industrial pollution, and the resilience of those who endure these atrocities. This exhibition challenges viewers to confront what’s hidden in plain sight—smokestacks on the horizon, decaying landscapes, and children at play in dystopian backdrops, unaware, just going about their lives.

Each candid portrayal of a child, each scar of environmental injustice plaguing the earth, is a symbol of ongoing corporate greed, and a masterful fusion of futures transforming the landscape into an intimate battleground. Through these works, Dorsey challenges us to consider the true cost of progress and unchecked power.
