Gallup MainStreet Arts & Cultural District is reaching out to you to ask for your help. We rely on grants and donations from individuals like you to support our efforts. Your donation will help us continue to offer the following benefits, enabling us to create a thriving downtown district in Gallup. 

Why Join the Friends of Gallup MainStreet Arts & Cultural District?

Downtown is more than buildings — it’s our community’s heart, our history, and our future. By joining the Friends of Gallup MainStreet, your monthly gift provides steady support for both historic preservation and economic revitalization. Together, we can preserve our heritage while creating jobs, supporting small businesses, and attracting more visitors.

Your Gift at Work

When you become a sustaining member, you’re not just donating — you’re investing:

• Revitalizing historic buildings to keep them vibrant community hubs. As an accredited Main Street Program, Gallup MainStreet Arts and Cultural District can access free services for downtown businesses and property owners through New Mexico MainStreet. These services include graphic design, branding, architectural renderings, and historic tax credit applications. All of this and more is available at no cost to the business or property owner.

• Attracting visitors who support our local economy. Every summer, we host the Levitt AMP Gallup Music Series. The series aims to activate our underused outdoor Courthouse Plaza by hosting a series of free summer concerts in downtown Gallup. The Levitt AMP series pairs local and emerging musical acts with national and international touring artists for 10 weeks during the summer. As part of the series, we invite local artisans to our Levitt AMP Maker’s Market during the concerts, free of charge, allowing them the opportunity to sell their work for no cost. This makes Historic Downtown Gallup the go-to spot for art and musical entertainment in Gallup.

• Supporting small businesses that bring life and jobs to downtown. We offer business training classes to local entrepreneurs and operate the Downtown Business Resource Center, which has media equipment to help business owners create marketing materials. Recordings of past classes are available on our website. This service is free for downtown businesses, people looking to start a business, or those needing a co-working space with free high-speed internet. We also host pop-up maker’s markets so artisans can sell their work. Additionally, we maintain a strong social media presence to promote businesses and events in downtown Gallup. 

The Power of Many

One person can make a difference, but a community of sustainers can transform our downtown.

Historic Downtowns all over the country contribute to the quality of life in those communities, and Gallup is no different. Historic Downtown Gallup is the heart and soul of our community and one of the things that makes Gallup a great place to live, work, and play. When large corporations consider relocating or establishing operations in a new community, they want to know what the quality of life is like, and a significant part of that is the historic downtown area.
