As of March 2021, The Albuquerque Artwalk was brought under the DowntownABQ MainStreet and Arts and Cultural District. As a program of DowntownABQ MainStreet and ACD, ABQ Artwalk is a 501c3 non-profit. As an economic driver for Downtown, ABQ Artwalk has proven effective in merging economic opportunity for both brick and mortar businesses and the local art scene, while also providing a platform for new and established local artists. ABQ Artwalk works directly with a close collective of local artists, but also offers open applications to any to apply on their website and get involved. Founded in 2017, this young organization started as a community based, grassroots program to connect Downtown and provide opportunity for artists and businesses alike. DowntownABQ MainStreet and Arts & Cultural District is excited to be a partner in this and are working along side program management to maintain ABQ Artwalk as part of Downtown Albuquerque culture.
