The LOEB Fellowship

Jamie Blosser, Curator

Jamie Blosser brings over two decades of leadership in architecture, community development, the arts, and public interest design to her role as curator of the Loeb Fellowship. She has built a career advancing creative leadership and cross sector collaboration in support of more inclusive and resilient communities.

Jamie founded and led the Midtown Arts and Design Alliance in Santa Fe from 2019 through 2026. MADA is a cultural center and public–private investment in creative civic infrastructure that emerged from her work at the Santa Fe Art Institute. As executive director of SFAI from 2015 to 2024, Jamie led SFAI’s International Thematic Artist Residency program, building innovative programming and events centered on the work of socially engaged artists and creative practitioners of all disciplines.

Jamie’s architectural and community development practice has been aimed at elevating the role of design and community engagement in equitable development. Earlier in her career, she was an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow at Ohkay Owingeh, a Pueblo community north of Santa Fe, and cofounded the Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative, now the Sustainable Native Communities Design Lab at MASS Design Group. As director of the Santa Fe office of Atkin Olshin Schade Architects, Jamie led the project team for the award-winning Owe’neh Bupingeh Preservation Project, an adobe revitalization project in the historic Pueblo center. The project has been exhibited at the Global Art Affairs Foundation in Venice and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and has been featured in numerous articles and books as a model of Indigenous self determination, redefining federal preservation and housing standards.

Jamie has served on numerous national boards, juries, and advisory groups, including the AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community, the AIA New Urban Agenda Task Force, Santa Fe Community Housing Trust, and the Ohkay Owingeh Housing Authority Board. She currently serves on the board of Grow America, a national housing and community development CDFI. She was a UN delegate to the Habitat III convening in Quito, Ecuador, and has lectured and served as a visiting critic and juror at academic and artistic institutions, including Harvard GSD, University of Pennsylvania, University of New Mexico, Vera List Center for Art and Politics, Pew Fellowships for the Arts, and MIT. Jamie’s work has been recognized through the Eames Institute Curious 100, the Public Interest Design 100, Harvard University Honoring Nations Award, and EPA Smart Growth Award.

A Loeb Fellow herself during the 2014–2015 academic year, Jamie returns to the Fellowship with a deep understanding of its mission and legacy, as well as a strong vision to leverage that legacy and the global impact of the Loeb Fellowship.

Jamie earned a master of architecture and a bachelor of applied science from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a registered architect in the State of New Mexico.
