This is awesome!„516 ARTS is a non-collecting contemporary art museum in the center of Downtown Albuquerque that celebrates thought-provoking art in the here and now. Our mission is to connect contemporary artists and diverse audiences... ” - all these are written on the site of a very provocative museum so I have to go there, Ive saved this cultural and artistic objective for a future trip, for some better days than now - September 2020.It looks amazing, bravo!PS: Ive added here pictures from their site - artworks of those great artists who made exhibitions there...

Very limited artwork displayed when we went. Not very interesting. Keep in mind though that the artwork rotates in and out.

This place is a remarkable Albuquerque catch. Rotating exhibits on all manner of topics (usually group shows) that work to prod thought. Sometimes more clever than inspired, but always interesting. Go.

516 is a fantastic resource and anchor for contemporary art, both in Downtown Albuquerque and in the region.Over the last decade the team there has consistently worked with local, national, and international artists to create installations that are thought provoking, relevant, and consistently executed across a variety of mediums, incl. visual arts, mixed media, sculpture, street art & murals, and more.In addition to hosting exhibitions, in the last few years theyve deeply engaged with other arts organizations and anchors, as well as piloting and growing the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts Fulcrum Fund, which supports independent, artist-led projects and spaces, and is an important add to the arts ecosystem in New Mexico. Definitely recommend a visit!

Do not miss a chance to see every exhibition (and program) produced by this stellar organization. The space lends itself to outstanding shows with multiple materials, including video and sound installations. The program is savvy and contemporary and yet it is thoughtful and socially conscious. This is a special place in Albuquerque.

Awesome non profit gallery displaying works of many contemporary and neo contemporary artist.many were also local which was cool.

Large exhibits with interesting, cohesive themes and consistently high quality. Best gallery in Albuquerque!

Community friendly and relevant exhibitions

Art wasnt terribly compelling

Really cool place. I enjoyed it.

Nice place to go

Great exhibits and great staff! Love this local gallery

Nice for what it is. Free.

This is a total diamond in the rough in downtown ABQ. The space and artwork are second-to-none and if youre looking for your fix of great contemporary art, you need to go no further. There are a few other nice galleries and coffeeshops nearby so you can spend a while wondering through the area. This is a nice way to experience the artsy side of Downtown!

Excellent art gallery for contemporary, engaged works.

Went and were closed during normal hours..with no indication anywhere that people could learn before making the trip there

Went here to see about a grant they are offering and was really taken by the different art mediums. The staff are kind and really helpful.

You must go see the art! OMG!

THE place to see contemporary art in Albuquerque.

Loved it!
