The Groove is an arts teaching-centered resource center, with classes across the arts spectrum (mosaic, painting, glass fusing, calligraphy, sculpture, pet portraiture, knitting, journal-making...) for EVERYONE. We welcome beginners through professional artists, and have series focused on classes for kids, teens/tweens, sip & create, Spanish language classes, and artist-to-artist. In addition to offering diverse and engaging classes, we have a gallery (there are now 12 artists showing their work in the gallery and throughout The Groove's funky space), we have four studio artists in-house actively making their art at The Groove, we sell mosaic and other art-making supplies, and we rent the teaching space for events and workshops. Our mission is to create a welcoming space where people can make art together and build arts capacity in Albuquerque, enhancing the ability for creative entrepreneurs to make a fair and equitable living.
