In addition to this website, Galisteo residents have three sources of information about the village: emails, the physical bulletin board behind the church, and the printed El Puente de Galisteo newsletter.
El Puente de Galisteo newsletter
“In January 1997 the first issue of EL Puente de Galisteo came out with the blessing of the Galisteo Community Association and help from several accomplices no longer living here. In homage to colloquial New Mexican Spanish, the newsletter was called La Puente, like the road crossing the bridge. But everyone was horrified, and the second issue was the proper El Puente. “
“El Puente reports on community activities and issues in and around the village. It is published monthly with occasional bi-monthly and summer issues when my work schedule is too heavy, and it’s free and available only to Galisteo residents (and some former residents). Each issue is sponsored by an individual or business in Galisteo. Contact me to subscribe, change your address, or to contribute.”
—Lucy Lippard, Editor flip14@centurylink.net
All issues of El Puente de Galisteo are available online here. A searchable archive index is here.
Galisteo Community News emails
Residents of Galisteo receive announcements from a village community email service. These notices may include upcoming art shows and/or openings, as well as news that benefits the entire community. Direct notices about personal and/or household items for sale, individual services such as dog sitting, horseboarding, private class instruction etc., should be posted to the community bulletin board at the postal boxes, not sent out on the community email.
To send an announcement, subscribe to these emails, or remove yourself from the email list, contact news@galisteocommunity.org. Please note: this email service is NOT automatic. Your announcements may be edited and may not be distributed immediately. This service is currently managed by Paul Davis, who will do his best to get your news out in a timely manner.
Community Bulletin Board
There is a wooden bulletin board between the mailboxes behind the church for village and local area announcements and events, posters, and queries. (Don’t miss the little hammer which makes posting easier.) People posting should remove dated material after the event. There is also a free little library.
Radio Free Galisteo podcasts
Founded and run by former residents John Shannon and Denise Lynch, Radio Free Galisteo produced podcasts of “news, arts and politics from Galisteo to Santa Fe and the rest of the world.” Shannon and Lynch interviewed the famous, not-so-famous, notorious, and admirable in the arts, culture, and politics. Also, on the Radio Free Galisteo website is The Human Restoration Project with Galisteo resident Mare Tomaski, a podcast about human potential, wellness, and alternative health wisdom.
