Albuquerque Art Galleries

The landscape of New Mexico is frequently portrayed by many artisans. They use their visionary artistic gifts to present to us the Land of Enchantment. The bold colors of the New Mexico deserts, mountains, rivers and ranges are vividly detailed with each stroke of the artist's brush or the click of a camera. The Southwest has amazing artists featuring some of their finest art works right here in Albuquerque! You may not know their names, or they may be famously recognized, either way, when you see these artist's works you will be affected and moved. You won't need to venture all over New Mexico to see their special works. Just wonder into the abundant art galleries in Old Town and throughout Albuquerque.

Located in the Historic Old Town District are a diamond cluster of fantastic galleries. Many of the galleries showcase paintings, sculptures and exhibits of spectacular and creative artist works. Be sure to look for special gallery showings. Some galleries will have the artist personally available.

If your in the mood to see contemporary art in a modern museum setting the place to go would be the 516 ARTS. This gallery is both museum and modern gallery. You will get a full force view of artistic works showcasing a mix of local, national and international artists. 516 ARTS offers exhibition tours to individuals. The exhibits always offer an amusing look into the world of modern arts. I recommend a visit to this museum.
