New Mexico in Focus; Arts in Trouble

KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · May 17, 2002

A sweeping national study says many homegrown performing arts institutions in this country will continue to face financial straits even closure. No Albuquerque performing arts organization has shut its doors, but one has drastically cut its staff, while others have altered or intensified fund raising strategies or plan to change programming. In Focus looks at how local organizations are coping and how they plan to make it through these trying financial times. Host: Arcie Chapa. Guests: Tom Levine, Suzanne Sbarge, Janet McHard, and Joe Pesce (in package – Carmen Lomas Garza).
