Albuquerque’s
art scene is still thriving, and the city certainly sees the value in investing
in its local art community. Meanwhile, Albuquerque’s downtown is also seeing a
rennaisance, with more and more businesses opening up catering to the city’s
young, artistically minded population.
If
you’re interested in our local art community, you’re probably interested in 516 ARTS.
516
ARTS is an independent, nonprofit arts and education organization, with a
museum-style gallery in the center of Downtown Albuquerque. And on February 13
at 7pm, organized by the fine folks at 516 ARTS, the 2014 Heart of the City
Forum will be held at 516’s headquarters at 516 Central Ave. SW.
Here’s
