Free Chimayó Youth Visioning Workshops Open to the Public

Santa Fe County in collaboration with the Resource Center for Raza Planning in the UNM School of Architecture and Planning would like to invite residents to participate in one or all of the free Chimayó Youth Visioning Workshops (see dates below). The workshops engage youth and young adults in an intensive three part planning and design workshop to explore the future of Chimayó.

The workshops involve participants in mapping, drawing, photography, field observation, and analysis of Chimayó’s community and individual assets. These workshops are free and open to all, and no previous design or planning experience is necessary.

All workshops will be held at the Bennie J. Chavez Community Center in Chimayó from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
• Saturday Oct. 25
• Saturday, Nov. 8
• Saturday, Nov. 15

A pop-up community exhibit and celebration will be organized and facilitated by youth participants to showcase the Chimayó Youth Vision in February 2015.

We encourage participants to attend all workshops; however we know that this may difficult for many so feel free to drop in at your convenience.
