Attempts at participating in art shows can be discouraging and make people feel like outsiders. Art is not meant to be done and owned only by a few people. Everyone is an artist in their own way and should feel supported and encouraged and feel like they are an important part of the creative community.

Free Art Friday is a place where anyone is welcomed to participate.  One of my goals with Free Art Friday Albuquerqueis to have it be something that values the contributions that artists offer to the community and have the artist feel like their art is key in making it a success and that they are included in a global art movement that brings people together through art.

Whether you are an artist, a seasoned veteran of the arts “scene” or just gearing up for your first visit to an Art Gallery, welcome to the family of artists that is inclusive and appreciative of your support!
