- Katharsis Media supported local artists and creative professionals through artist residencies, emergency assistance, affordable creative infrastructure, and paid mentorship opportunities. Through the UETF Residency Resiliency Program in partnership with the City of Albuquerque, the organization hosted 12 artists in residence and distributed milestone-based financial support for artistic projects. Katharsis Media also operated the New Mexico Film Emergency Fund, providing emergency financial assistance for filmmakers and creative professionals experiencing hardship through direct vendor payments. Additionally, the organization expanded access to professional creative space and resources through its artist support initiatives and studio infrastructure. Katharsis Media also secured Creative Industries Division funding to expand affordable creative infrastructure through the development of Hot Sets, a modular production environment designed to support artists, workforce training, and community film and television productions. Planning and early implementation began during FY2025, with full buildout occurring in the following fiscal year. NOTE: Through the UETF Residency Resiliency Program in partnership with the City of Albuquerque, Katharsis Media continued administering milestone-based support to artists whose projects were funded through a prior-year grant award, distributing payments as artists completed project benchmarks during FY2025, which is why our expenses greatly outweigh our revenue for this program.Expenses $41,848 · grants $10,000 · revenue $10,000
