This place is amazing! A great space for creative people to create something. They have almost anything you can think of from painting, sewing, crocheting, hit glue items, jewelry making, and screen printing. It is free to the community. I look forward to starting a class wroth them to learn new art skills.
Very relaxing option to cool down for an hour or be creative for 5 hours. Art supplies, hot glue gun station, beads, paper, cloth, etc. Very friendly and helpful staff. All free/pay what you can by donation. Some t-shirts, jewelry and paintings for sale, also
I’ve just moved to Albuquerque and found a class at Off Center. The instructor was helpful, prepared, and flexible. All materials were provided. The place was welcoming and calm. After my junk mail journal was done I knew I’d come back weekly for open studio.
Came here to be around people and I was not disappointed. This is a free and open space to do art with your neighbors and like minded people. The center has all of the supplies you need, from paper for drawing to sewing machines. They offer workshops in various skills and even sell your art as well. All you have to do is sign in and your good. Just make sure your doing art while your there. That's one of their rules. Great place to socialize and do something creative and best of all it's all Free!
One of the coolest concepts around. Learn art, play and make whatever your heart desires. Very talented people, super nice and helpful staff. Please donate supplies every chance u get. The place relies on donations and puts them to great use. This is an awesome resource to better our community and keep our kids off of the streets. Support this place at all costs. They are fantastic!
