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.

This May, The Groove presents HOPES & PRAYERS, a photography-only exhibition exploring the spiritual and cultural landscape of New Mexico. From village churches to santos, from historic iglesias to contemporary interpretations of sacred iconography, the show highlights the ways artists capture faith, ritual, and place through the lens.
