ArtsThrive Exhibition Open to the Public
October 8–December 5, 2021
Buy it now! The exhibition will be open to the public during regular Museum hours. All art will be available to purchase online. Artwork will remain on display through December 5; buyers may pick up their work between December 5–10, during regular Museum hours.
In addition to previewing and purchasing artwork online, you can view all the works of art in the gallery at the Museum during regular visitor hours.
ArtsThrive, a program of the Albuquerque Museum Foundation has bloomed into a national juried exhibition and fundraiser featuring the work of over 100 artists from Albuquerque and beyond. Geared toward art enthusiasts of all kinds — from first time buyers to long-time collectors — ArtsThrive is the only exhibition held at the Albuquerque Museum where the works are for sale.
Artists receive 60 percent from the sale of their work; the balance goes to the Albuquerque Museum Foundation to support future museum exhibitions and educational programming.
The exhibition runs through December 5 and all Museum visitors are invited to support the artists and the Albuquerque Museum Foundation by purchasing a new work of art to enhance your home or business.
