The Albuquerque Artwalk serves as the heartbeat of New Mexico’s creative scene. By uniting artists and facilitating collaborations, our platform transforms the ABQ Arts & Cultural District into a block-by-block arts experience, bringing creativity directly to the community.

Through our monthly downtown event, we aim to support both local artists and businesses. Every ABQ Artwalk is an opportunity to celebrate New Mexico’s creative culture and provide space for businesses and creatives to engage with the local community and visitors of New Mexico.

Next ABQ Artwalk: Jan 2nd

Every month, ABQ Artwalk highlights one of our artists on the cover of the ABQ Artwalk Map. This month’s spotlight features Kyle Velez.

Kyle Velez is a New Mexico–based oil painter who balances realism and surrealism, using rich color and subtle light to create quiet, contemplative scenes. Explore his work on his website and see it featured on this month’s ABQ Artwalk Map.
