ArtsThrive

Supporting Albuquerque's Cultural Community

FINAL(OL-color)_AMF_(5.0)ARTSTHRIVE LOGO

Online sales continue through April 14, 2024.

The exhibition will be on view to the public March 17–April 14, 2024.

Albuquerque Museum Foundation's biggest fundraising event of the year is an art exhibition and sale that offers more than 350 works of art for sale from 135 artists.

Geared toward art enthusiasts of all kinds — from first-time buyers to long-time collectors — ArtsThrive is the only exhibition held at the Albuquerque Museum where the works are for sale. The exhibition will be open to the public during regular Museum hours. For more information about visiting Albuquerque Museum, visit their website, albuquerquemuseum.org.

Artwork that is purchased will remain on display through April 14.

ArtsThrive supports the Albuquerque Museum Foundation's mission as an independent, nonprofit corporation to raise funds for the Albuquerque Museum.

“For me, as a member the Foundation’s board, it is important to be excited about the event, and to share our enthusiasm for ArtsThrive with the community,” says Rhett Lynch, ArtsThrive committee chair. “It is essential for working artists to have opportunities like this exhibition, where their work can be seen in the context of the Museum. And it is essential for the community to embrace it. Any community is only as strong as its creative visionaries.”

Art Exhibition + Sale

All artists selected into the ArtsThrive exhibition will have their artwork displayed in one of the Albuquerque Museum’s galleries. All artwork in this show will be for sale to the public for the duration of this four-week long exhibition, with 60% of art sales going back to the artist.

The History of ArtsThrive

Formerly Known as Miniatures & More

In 1990, Albuquerque Museum Foundation launched The Miniatures Show, the most successful fundraising event in the history of the Foundation and Albuquerque Museum. Led by the commitment, vision, and devotion of artist and patron Betty Sabo (1928-2016), Miniatures & More enabled collectors to have access to exceptional artists; provided essential funding to the Museum; and support the prolific artist community in Albuquerque and beyond.

In 2017, the event was re-branded as ArtsThrive: Art Exhibition and Benefit. The new name and identity spoke to those who are passionate about art, appealed to a broader audience, and communicated the longevity and success of this fundraiser. Today, ArtsThrive continues to be an important part of Albuquerque’s cultural community, supporting Albuquerque Museum and the artists who participate.
