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. The exhibition will open with a public Opening Reception during Albuquerque's First Friday ARTScrawl on Friday, October 2, from 5–7 PM. The exhibition will remain on view throughout the month of October, inviting visitors to experience a broad range of artwork created by AABA's Artist Members.
Founded in 1982, the Albuquerque Art Business Association has served the greater Albuquerque arts community for more than four decades through professional networking, community outreach, educational programming, and advocacy for the visual arts. Since 2005, the AABA has sponsored Albuquerque's original First Friday ARTScrawl, connecting artists, galleries, businesses, and the public through monthly exhibition openings and special events.
In 2024, the AABA expanded its mission by opening membership to individual artists, creating new opportunities for emerging and established artists alike to build community, exhibit their work, and strengthen connections throughout Albuquerque's creative ecosystem. The biannual Full Members Exhibitions have become a cornerstone of that initiative, providing an inclusive platform where every Artist Member has the opportunity to participate.
The 2026 exhibition marks the second consecutive year of partnership between FUSION and the Albuquerque Art Business Association. Together, the organizations continue their shared commitment to supporting local artists, increasing public access to the arts, and celebrating the rich cultural diversity that defines New Mexico's creative community.
The public is invited to experience this exhibition and discover the breadth of talent represented by Albuquerque's working artists. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
