Established in 1988, Outpost Productions is based at The Outpost Performance Space, Albuquerque’s nonprofit, member-supported, 160-seat Performing Arts Center. Outpost also presents in larger venues in Albuquerque and Santa fe, notably during the New Mexico Jazz festival. Outpost presents 100 concerts annually — jazz, experimental, folk and roots, spoken word, teen nights and more — plus classes for youth and adults. Outpost hosts visual arts exhibits in its Inpost Artspace. While an important presenter of touring acts, Outpost also remains committed to supporting local performers. Dedicated to a mission of linking with other organizations, Outpost collaborates with an ever-growing number of partners. Founding executive director Tom Guralnick makes booking decisions with the active input of staff, presenting partners, artists and community members. Outpost seasons run from October to December; march to may; and June to August. Booking decisions are made anywhere from 18 to 24 months in advance of each season. Interested performers should send inquiries to Tom Guralnick.
