MartinArt Exhibit Works by Martin Michael Terry
Introducing MartinArt! - an exhibit featuring works by long-time FUSION curator, Martin Michael Terry. Includes art from across Martin’s career, and includes works in oils, acrylics, watercolor, and other media. Martin was born and raised in the Hudson Valley of New York and moved to the Albuquerque area in 1991. Although he later traveled away from the area, he returned in 2012 and again immersed himself in the arts scene. He was a past president of the New Mexico Art League and exhibited in various shows, including the Unitarian Church, the South Broadway Cultural Center, 606 Gallery, and FUSION, where he also began curating in 2021.
While in Europe, he established a gallery at both the U.S. Embassy in Athens and at the Tri-Mission Embassy in Rome. The galleries were established to provide a space for the local employees (host country nationals working for the United States) to exhibit their own work. These galleries remain ongoing, under local employee leadership.
His career included working for the Walt Disney Corporation with comic book art. He spent many years working as an art therapist in New York State in the prison system, the state psychiatric facility, and in a community based out-patient mental health organization. He also taught art to private students, both in the U.S. and Europe.
Martin passed away in November 2024, while his final curated art show, PROTEST 2024! – was on display at FUSION | 708.
Note that a portion of all sales will be donated to FUSION, so that it can continue its support of the arts.
WHERE: FUSION | 708, at 708 1st Street NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102
