Outside In Productions

OUTSIDE IN is a non-profit, community-based organization established in 1995 to bring free, live, professional music, dance and other artistic presentations to people who are confined in shelters, residential treatment facilities, correctional facilities, and nursing homes in New Mexico and who do not otherwise have access to the Arts.

Our mission is to alleviate suffering, lift the spirits, and ease the loneliness and sense of abandonment that is so common among confined and institutionalized populations, through access to the performing arts by providing a continuous series of live performances and presentations. We also seek to educate, inspire and empower troubled and high-risk youth by offering them continuous arts workshops and instruction.

A major focus of Outside In is our Youth With Promise program, which offers weekly art, music and dance educational workshops for high-risk youth, juvenile offenders, and other underserved youth.

Kids at the
Santa Fe Boys & Girls Club sing a rousing version of Jingle Bells. Outside In provides free weekly guitar classes at the Boys & Girls Club, through the masterful leadership of Chris Abeyta.

Busy McCarroll and Friends
entertained residents at the El Castillo Retirement Community for the ninth consecutive year. Sadly, 104 year-old Marvin Langham, a longtime friend of Outside In, passed away two days after this performance.

La Familia Abeyta brought the holiday spirit to residents at the Santa Fe County Juvenile Detention Center (SFYDP.) Outside In provides music, dance and art classes here through our Youth With Promise program.

Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble

Delancey Street

Since 1971, the Delancey Street Foundation has been helping substance abusers, ex-convicts, and others who have hit bottom to turn their lives around. Your continuing support of Outside In made it possible for us to bring music to Delancey Street for the fifteenth consecutive year! We kicked off the 2013 Sunday Night Music Series with a performance by Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, an incredible Cajun band all the way from Sunset, Louisiana. It may have been 11 degrees outside, but indoors, it was hot, hot, hot.
