Founded in 2001, High Mayhem Emerging Arts is a not-for-profit emerging arts facility, record label and multimedia production collective based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We challenge the homogenizing effect of pop-culture groupthink (how'd it get so meditated so fast?) by providing opportunities for and fostering collaborations with underrepresented "experimental" artists.

We provide a venue and voice for creative tinkerers who challenge our notions of aesthetics in music and art, especially those who employ cross-media synthesis, improvisational techniques who introduce new ways of hearing, looking and presenting the unorthodox...the often indescribable.

High Mayhem curates performances and organizes workshops year-round with musicians and performance artists who come from near and far. We seek out others to join us in producing innovative and thought-provoking experiences for our communities. Further, we encourage and organize collaborative experiments across disciplines; new forms emerge from mutated traditions and pure invention.
