Who Are We? (continued)
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which has existed since 1965 and which is dedicated to supporting the work of The Santa Fe Opera's Education and Community Programs Department.

Currently, six member guilds exist throughout the State, and their aim is to present to their members a variety of educational and social programs to encourage a broad appreciation of the art of opera in general and for the work of The Santa Fe Opera in particular.

You can find us at any one of the six highlighted locations noted on the map.

From South to North. we are in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Vegas (NM), Los Alamos, Española, and Taos.
