The Poetry of Flowers Collaborative developed organically—perhaps even a little haphazardly.

Maggie Seeley, the poet, initiated or responded to that vision with words, and then the artwork and poem began to speak to one another.
The Albuquerque Art Business Association (AABA) is proud to present the 2026 AABA Full Members Exhibition at FUSION, as an official part of Rising High Arts Festival, celebrating the remarkable diversity, creativity, and talent of Albuquerque's artist community.
