Harwood Art Center

Downtown Albuquerque · Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Harwood Art Center occupies a historic 1921 school building in Albuquerque's Barelas neighborhood — one of the oldest Hispanic communities in the city — bringing gallery exhibitions, studio classes, and arts residencies to an area that has been the creative and spiritual heart of Albuquerque's Hispano culture for centuries. The center's programming reflects the cultural richness of its neighborhood alongside the broader Albuquerque arts community, and its emphasis on community access and arts education gives it a social mission as important as its exhibition program. The Harwood is one of the most deeply rooted arts institutions in the city, inseparable from the community it inhabits.
