Some of the biggest ideas start with a simple question. What if we tried something differently? What if we looked a little deeper?

At UNMAM, we're about looking closely, asking questions and seeing what's possible. We're invested in creative work and curious students.

What if an idea that starts here changes someone’s life? Across campus, Lobos are asking those questions every day through research, scholarship and creative work.

Accelerate New Mexico is about investing in that curiosity and giving great ideas the opportunity to go further. Be the Reason the next discovery begins here. Give to UNMAM today: https://artmuseum.unm.edu/donate-to-unmam

Think about the educator who made something finally click. Or the one who challenged you to look at something differently. That happens every day at UNM. We teach, create, discover and help students see what they’re capable of.

At UNMAM, team members work alongside student assistants to teach, mentor and provide hands-on experience so they're ready for successful careers. We invest in our students at every stage, helping them build the skills, knowledge and professional experience they need to thrive.

Accelerate New Mexico is also about investing in the people behind those learning experiences and giving them resources to continue doing their best work. Be the Reason great minds choose New Mexico. Give today: https://artmuseum.unm.edu/donate-to-unmam/

Co-sponsored by ARTSLab and the Sustainable Space Research Grand Challenge, submissions will be judged on originality, feasibility, cross-disciplinary appeal, and the strength of the artist’s statement.

Every student’s path through UNM looks a little different. For some, a scholarship makes college possible. For others, it can be a mentor, a fellowship or an opportunity that helps them take the next step towards their goals.

For Hannah Cerne (left), who graduated with dual master's degrees in Art History and Museum Studies, it meant co-curating an exhibition, "Tamarind Goes Global (1985-2020)," now showing at the UNM Art Museum, as a student.

It's an opportunity that combined mentorship, investment and commitment. Accelerate New Mexico is about investing in students and giving more Lobos the opportunity to keep moving forward. Be the Reason opportunity becomes possibility. Give now: https://artmuseum.unm.edu/donate-to-unmam/
