July ARTScrawlABQ

ARTful Saturdays

Albuquerque artists and patrons look forward every month to ARTScrawlABQ‘s First Friday ARTScrawl (5-8 pm) and ARTful Saturday (third Saturday from 1-4 pm). While First Friday ARTScrawls are city-wide events. ARTful Saturdays highlight galleries in different parts of town each month, rotating among galleries in Old Town, Downtown, Nob HIll and the Northeast Heights.

ARTful Saturdays are a great opportunity for families to visit galleries in a concentrated area. Events include artist “meet and greets” and lectures and demonstrations. This month’s ARTful Saturday is July 15 and features galleries in the Northeast Heights. Two of the galleries are the Weyrich Gallery and Palette Contemporary Arts and Crafts.
