Since its inception in 1995, an
important component of SITE
Santa Fe’s mission is to make
art accessible to a broad
audience in the community.
Contemporary art can stretch the
imagination and make us see
things in a new light. It can
also be challenging. That is why
SITE created its SITE Guide
program-to help visitors better
understand their viewing
experiences. It is an innovative
approach to guest services and
museum education. Each year,
more than 20,000 people,
including students, are served
by SITE Guides. |
