ABQ Artwalk’s mission is to build a stronger downtown community by merging the arts of New Mexico with the local business economy. To initiate change, we created a platform in 2018 that activates downtown every First Friday by infusing the arts through a vibrant network of shops, galleries, breweries, restaurants, and other unconventional venues. ABQ Artwalk is an artist-ran organization that highlights all things local, including the artists and creatives that bring life and innovation to our community.
Our driving purpose is to not only expose downtown residents to local business, arts, and culture, but to continue fostering the growth and involvement of underserved areas throughout Albuquerque. By creating experiences that are accessible and welcoming of all ages, cultures, and income levels, ABQ Artwalk has the ability to mobilize, stimulate, and create a safer downtown through the economic and social partnerships between artists and entrepreneurs.
