Off Center Community Arts Project

Came here to be around people and I was not disappointed. This is a free and open space to do art with your neighbors and like minded people. The center has all of the supplies you need, from paper for drawing to sewing machines. They offer workshops in various skills and even sell your art as well. All you have to do is sign in and your good. Just make sure your doing art while your there. That's one of their rules. Great place to socialize and do something creative and best of all it's all Free!

One of the coolest concepts around. Learn art, play and make whatever your heart desires. Very talented people, super nice and helpful staff. Please donate supplies every chance u get. The place relies on donations and puts them to great use. This is an awesome resource to better our community and keep our kids off of the streets. Support this place at all costs. They are fantastic!

OffCenter is a delightful community arts space. There are free weekly drop-in events as well as classes offered on a sliding scale so everyone can participate. If you want to feel inspired or to connect with other creative folks, definitely check it out.

Off center This is the best place to relax and let your imagination fly. 100% recommend.

Always a great place to be able to create. Such a variety of free classes and infinite art supplies. There are always so many events going on. Check out their website and support this non-for-profit by purchasing things in their store and attending first Friday art walk events

Open, accessible, warm, and welcoming. Open studio space with a extraordinary range of free supplies. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Parking!

Off Center Arts is inclusive and welcoming. This free community art space has it all, but I go there for the giant puppets and the puppet parades.

I love Off Center it is a very interactive art space, people here are friendly

Great community resource, super helpful, fun staff, and great supplies for a creative space!!! Always check them out at the ABQ art walk :) classes are fun too!

Super Fun, Very Friendly Service, Everyone Is So Welcoming and Booming With Positivity! Definitely A Great Place To Take The Kiddos And Find Your Inner Kid As Well!

I really enjoyed this community center! I love the idea and the concept they have behind this place! Anyone can come in and join what they are doing! Become involved with everything! You can come in and make any art of your own! They have materials and also allow you to being in materials! There is a show that was coming up, so I made a lot of art pieces for them to sell for me at the show!

What one will find at Off Center is a community of local artists who are dedicated to their craft. A friendly knowledgeable staff that will assist with most any artistic need. This place is my spiritual artistic home. A place where artists are not divided by education, class, pedigree or any other divisive term. Inside those four walls is an artistic sanctuary open to all, for the people and by the people.

The people are very welcoming, friendly, and accepting of donations. My children love it and there is so much to do and create. This is geared for an older child and adults, however were all patient and accepting of our ‘threenager’ creating art as well.

Amazing space, free to use, free classes, everything from painting to puppet making, they have sewing machines and a small thrift space that is pay what you can. super friendly volunteers and staff and generally a great place for artists and folks just wanting to create.

Our first time at Off Center. We had a great time decorating boxes. Everyone was very kind. The staff was helpful and made us feel welcome. Looking forward to the next time we can go and create!

Great place in downtown Albuquerque! Lots of art supplies of any kind! And you can make art for free! It's all funded by donations! If it's something that you want to sell, you can hang it up on the gallery wall! I saw lots of talent! I was just visiting from Seattle, and didn't have any time, but I will be stopping by the next time I'm in town!

OffCenter Arts is an amazing resource in this community. I went by to do an art project using materials and space I didn't have at home, and I've been back to donate art supplies others can use. The store inside is also a great place to buy one-of-a-kind gifts by talented local artists!

Love this Open Art Studio which welcomes the entire community! This is a great place to create, learn, connect and build community. OFFCENTER is an important community resource, contributing all year round and particularly each September with the annual Folk Art Festival. Truly an Albuquerque treasure! Worth a visit by creative people of all ages and abilities. Weekly classes and groups are great, but you can also just hang out and make art with the multitude of supplies and materials on offer.
