The Ambassador Program is a statewide volunteer initiative empowering artists, educators, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals to support local creatives, connect communities, and support New Mexico’s creative ecosystem.

Ambassadors volunteer at events, promote division programs, and support the division’s overall outreach. Benefits include recognition, professional development, early access to events, and input on statewide creative programming and policy considerations.

The 12-month renewable term requires at least 20 volunteer hours per year.
