Comment by Joan Fenicle on April 8, 2008 at 10:44pm: Albuquerque makes the top 25 list of Arts Destinations (again). Frankly, I didn't expect it this year because we were moved to the Large Cities category (population 500,000+). Ranked 2nd last year among mid-sized cities - we dropped to 7 this year but that's with competition from NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, etc. Santa Fe was 1 among small cities and Taos was number 5. I think this makes quite a story for New Mexico. Now, let's aim to get back toward the top of the list in 2009. Read it all at http://www.americanstyle.com

In conversations with people who say that Albuquerque has no art scene - I have come to understand that what they are referring to is the fact that we don't have the collector dollars. We have wonderful artists - great galleries - but everyone is struggling to survive because the big money doesn't come here (at least not for our art). We have no one to blame but us (and that is a big collective US including city government and local business). Let's put some of our creativity to work coming up with a plan to get the word out to the world that Albuquerque is the place to buy art. The number of galleries would grow, artists would actually be able to make a living by showing here, perhaps art would reappear in the public schools. The potential is unlimited.
