Your Gift at Work

When you become a sustaining member, you’re not just donating — you’re investing:

• Reviving historic buildings so they remain vibrant community anchors. As an accredited Main Street Program, Gallup MainStreet Arts and Cultural District can access free services for downtown businesses and property owners through New Mexico MainStreet. These include graphic design, branding, architectural renderings, and historic tax credit applications. All of this and more is available at no charge to the business or property owner.

• Attracting visitors who fuel our local economy. Every summer, we host the Levitt AMP Gallup Music Series. The series aims to activate our underutilized outdoor Courthouse Plaza by hosting a series of free summer concerts in downtown Gallup. The Levitt AMP series pairs local and upcoming musical acts with national and international touring artists for 10 weeks out of the summer. Making Historic Downtown Gallup the place for musical entertainment in Gallup.

• Supporting small businesses that bring life and jobs to downtown. We provide business training classes to local entrepreneurs as well as operate the Downtown Business Resource Center, which has media equipment to assist business owners in creating marketing materials for their businesses. Recordings of past classes are available through our website. This is available free of cost to downtown businesses as well as folks looking to start a business or even need a co-working space with free access to high-speed internet. We even host pop-up maker’s markets to allow artisans to sell their work. Additionally, we have a strong social media presence that we use to promote businesses and events in downtown Gallup.
