For generations, artists have been drawn to New Mexico because of our extraordinary light, wide open spaces and welcoming atmosphere. From ceramics to metalwork, photography, folk art and furniture, you’ll be surprised how many ways artists can express a sense of place. Albuquerque’s traditional Hispanic and Native American arts help tell the story of this amazing place. But you’ll find a lot more than traditional art in Albuquerque. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece that really evokes Albuquerque, but isn’t particularly Southwestern, check out some of the galleries along Central Avenue in Nob Hill.
