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 August, The Groove presents We PROTEST, an exhibition of resistance, resilience, and collective voice. Open to all media, the show highlights how artists confront injustice, challenge power, and spark change through creative expression. From bold statements to quiet acts of defiance, We PROTEST amplifies the role of art as both witness and catalyst in revolution.
