TEXTure

January 2nd Opening Reception

  • 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 January exhibition, TEXTure/TEXTile, explores the richness of materiality through book arts, textiles, and other highly tactile or granular mediums. Open to all media and sizes, the show highlights the interplay between texture, fabric, and form.
