516 is a fantastic resource and anchor for contemporary art, both in Downtown Albuquerque and in the region. Over the last decade the team there has consistently worked with local, national, and international artists to create installations that are thought provoking, relevant, and consistently executed across a variety of mediums, incl. visual arts, mixed media, sculpture, street art & murals, and more. In addition to hosting exhibitions, in the last few years they've deeply engaged with other arts organizations and anchors, as well as piloting and growing the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts' Fulcrum Fund, which supports independent, artist-led projects and spaces, and is an important add to the arts ecosystem in New Mexico. Definitely recommend a visit!

Điều này thật tuyệt! “516 ARTS là một bảo tàng nghệ thuật đương đại không sưu tập ở trung tâm Downtown Albuquerque, nơi tôn vinh nghệ thuật kích thích tư duy ở đây và bây giờ. Nhiệm vụ của chúng tôi là kết nối các nghệ sĩ đương đại và khán giả đa dạng ... ”- tất cả những điều này được viết trên trang web của một bảo tàng rất khiêu khích vì vậy tôi phải đến đó, tôi đã để dành mục tiêu văn hóa và nghệ thuật này cho chuyến đi trong tương lai, đối với một số người những ngày tốt hơn bây giờ - tháng 9 năm 2020.

This is a total 'diamond in the rough' in downtown ABQ. The space and artwork are second-to-none and if you're looking for your fix of great contemporary art, you need to go no further. There are a few other nice galleries and coffeeshops nearby so you can spend a while wondering through the area. This is a nice way to experience the 'artsy' side of Downtown!

Do not miss a chance to see every exhibition (and program) produced by this stellar organization. The space lends itself to outstanding shows with multiple materials, including video and sound installations. The program is savvy and contemporary and yet it is thoughtful and socially conscious. This is a special place in Albuquerque.

Great place, always has something cool to see or experience. Parking is hit and miss and downtown is downtown. There is almost always an unhinged Christian preaching about the fires of hell on the corner. I would suggest visiting in the daylight and I’m not joking.

Interesting exhibition of 12 new Aartists of New Mexico. Great variety in concepts.

This place is a remarkable Albuquerque catch. Rotating exhibits on all manner of topics (usually group shows) that work to prod thought. Sometimes more clever than inspired, but always interesting. Go.

Nice gallery, friendly people. Free admission. Two levels.

Awesome space, 2 floors, you may have to wait a few minutes to enter after hitting the doorbell but it’s worth it! The show up now is so good!

Went here to see about a grant they are offering and was really taken by the different art mediums. The staff are kind and really helpful.

Awesome non profit gallery displaying works of many contemporary and neo contemporary artist.many were also local which was cool.

Very limited artwork displayed when we went. Not very interesting. Keep in mind though that the artwork rotates in and out.

went and were closed during normal hours..with no indication anywhere that people could learn before making the trip there

I really enjoyed the exhibit. And Benjamin was very kind and informative. Definitely worth stopping in if you have time.

I'm a local artist, felt unwelcome and the exhibition was dry and unique. Try harder.

Interesting art gallery with exhibits from local artists. We liked it.

Spent hours here with a friend. Awesome experience. Will be back.
