Parachute Factory is a community makerspace in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Our goal is to elevate the community through hands-on experiences in technology, art, and culture.

The name Parachute Factory conjures up images of everything this project embodies—from the feeling of jumping headlong into a project, to a manufacturing workplace. It also pays tribute to the community memory of the Jayval & Navajo Textiles parachute factory, where women who hadn’t been in the workforce learned to sew parachutes as a contribution to the Korean War effort, which helped lift the local economy.

In small towns like Las Vegas, big box stores selling cheaply-made merchandise create a throw-away mentality. Parachute Factory offers a homegrown creative alternative to the current cycle of production and consumption that is killing rural America.

Parachute Factory works in partnership with the Media Arts Department at New Mexico Highlands University, the NM Department of Cultural Affairs, and the New Mexico State Library.
