The enchanted state of New Mexico features a resident population of well over two million people and a prosperous local fine arts culture.  New Mexico is also home to as many as 175,000 for-profit corporations and private commercial enterprises issuing a persistent demand for gifted graphic artists, especially illustrators.

New Mexico is known for its innovative approach to fine and experimental art, but did you know that the state has made a name for itself in the world of digital art and design? This means, New Mexico is ripe for the picking if you’re an aspiring graphic designer, game designer, digital artist,  or animator! If you’re wondering about the best place to hang your hat in The Land of Enchantment, consider the state’s largest city—Albuquerque or Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, the state capital—Santa Fe, or Roswell. These cities are home to hundreds of design studios, advertising agencies, and multimedia firms of all sizes, as well as a thriving art scene that encourages art forms of all kinds.

The city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, with a resident population of only about 60,000, is home to about 20,000 commercial businesses and colonies of local artists pursuing animation careers.  Current advances in digital graphics technology have strengthened the local economic demand for animation professionals.
