Jan. 17 -- Performance Santa Fe, an organization that has brought music, dance and theater performances to the city for 88 years, announced Friday on its website it will close its doors this year.
The statement provides no details about the reason for the shutdown or the specific time frame, but says all remaining performances will be canceled and ticketholders will receive full refunds.
Board Vice President Natalie Beller said in the statement, "This closure reflects the broader challenges facing arts organizations across the country, including shifting audience habits and entertainment choices."
The organization began bringing performances to the city in 1937 and has held education programs such as the Masterclass Series, the Arts for Life program, and the Field Trip Series.
"Performance Santa Fe's contributions to the city's cultural landscape have been marked by innovation and resilience," the statement says. "Over the decades, PSF's programming has consistently evolved to meet the changing times while staying true to its commitment to artistic excellence. While the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact, PSF leaves a legacy of inspiration and leadership in the performing arts."
