Red can warn. Red can celebrate. Red can seduce. Red can demand attention.

Seeing RED invites artists to explore the color through any medium, style, or interpretation. We want work that leans into passion, anger, love, danger, joy, protest, memory, or anything else this color brings to the surface.

If your work sees red, it belongs here.

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.
