Opening Reception November 6th!

  • 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.

  • Smallish is a curated exhibition celebrating amazing artwork on the smaller side. From miniature paintings to compact sculptures, this show highlights the power of small-scale creativity.

    We’re seeking artists working in any medium—so long as it’s smallish. All works must be 18" x 18" or smaller and priced at $400 or less.

    Open to all ages and backgrounds, Smallish champions quality, originality, and the art of working within limits.

    Submit your small-scale masterpiece today!
