Technically, SITE Santa Fe, opened in 1995, is an "art house" (a museum without a permanent collection). They mount both short and long-term exhibitions. Their mission: to nurture "innovation, discovery, and inspiration through the art of today." It's to be innovative discovery, and inspiration through the art of today. In their almost 20 years they have mounted over 80 shows. SITE, which often showcases provocative cutting-edge art, is known for its even year biennial shows. In 2014, they took on SITElines: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas. This is a "six¬-year commitment to a series of linked exhibitions with a focus on contemporary art and cultural production of the Americas." The first show, Unsettled Landscapes, ends in January 2015. The next shows in the series will be mounted in 2016 and 2018. There will be a series of ongoing exhibits until the next installment of SITElines opens in 2016.
