At The Groove, our motto is "Art for Everyone." We take pride in our inclusive gallery approach—while our shows are juried, we strive to feature a wide variety of artists and art forms that reflect the richness of New Mexico’s creative community. Our large gallery space can accommodate 70+ pieces, all by New Mexico artists.

30% of all sales are retained by The Groove to fund community outreach and arts programming throughout Albuquerque. We maintain a strict policy against AI-generated work and any content deemed pornographic by the jury.

Our February exhibition, BLUE, invites artists to explore the color and the emotion it evokes. Open to all media and sizes, the show highlights works that capture the many shades, moods, and meanings of blue.
