25th Annual Spring Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Festival

Creativity is in bloom at Albuquerque’s first major art event of the year, the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival. Fine art is the focus of this festival, and the trend is to leave the show with something new for oneself or the house.
Featuring a juried lineup of 200 fine artists and craftsmen from all over the country in a variety of mediums, including jewelry, watercolor, clay, wood, photography, oil paintings, mixed media and more, this Albuquerque favorite never ceases to draw huge crowds of enthusiastic shoppers! Festival goers enjoy live music, specialty foods, artists’ demonstrations, and the complimentary Kids’ Creation Station, while artists ring in exceptional sales. In honor of our 25th year, and nearly a decade of ranking in Sunshine Artist’s ‘Top 100 Shows’, we would like to toast to our talented artists, loyal customers, and New Mexico’s fabulous spring weather. Cheers!
