New art space opens up in downtown Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Downtown Albuquerque has seen its fair share of businesses pack up their bags, but there’s a new business that just opened their doors Friday. 

The Groove is a new art space off of Gold and Third Street, and it operates as a lot of different things for artists.

“We offer a lot of classes. We offer classes in every kind of art for every kind of artist,” said Erika Harding, owner and director of The Groove. “We offer a gallery and that helps give people a place to show and sell art.”

The Groove also offers studio space for artists to rent out.

“This is the studio space I rent which I’ll be working in, and I also am one of the artists that exhibits in the gallery here,” said Alison Robbenhaar, co-director of The Groove.
