The ArtsThrive party continues …

August 19 @ 1:31 pm

ArtsThrive Saturday Gala attendees got to see the artwork, meet the artists, drop bids, and had a great evening!

In 1990, Albuquerque Museum Foundation launched The Miniatures Show, with a mission to enable collectors to have access to exceptional artists; to provide essential funding to the Museum; and to support the prolific artist community in Albuquerque and beyond. Today ArtsThrive: Art Exhibition & Benefit continues to be the most successful fundraising event in the history of the Foundation and Albuquerque Museum.

You have a few weeks left before this year’s exhibition ends to explore the works of art and purchase something exceptional to hang in your home or collection. Visit the Museum to see the work in person or view the online sale catalog.
