New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary is a newly reimagined venue to showcase and house contemporary art from the collection of New Mexico Museum of Art. Often large in scale and complex in materials, current art making practices require expanded solutions for display and storage. Through a creative and ambitious adaptive reuse renovation by DNCA + StudioGP of the former Joseph F. Halpin New Mexico State Records Center and Archives (previously the Charles Ilfeld Mercantile Company Warehouse) located in the Santa Fe Railyard Arts District, the museum now has the capacity and the means to present cutting edge contemporary art. Various programs designed to engage directly with artists aim to deepen the connection with art and artists living and working in the state of New Mexico.
