Join the League of Acquaintances
The L.o.A. (League of Acquaintances) is a group of folks joined together by their belief in the value of this space: a welcoming place with low barrier of entry where artists can experiment, make connections, and share work with the community. This space, through its many different iterations, has been an important site for experimental art for over two decades in Albuquerque, and and we want to keep it thriving! We run the space as a collective, out of pocket, negotiating responsibilities depending on our personal lives and availability.
