Very often, the professionals working behind the scenes in our galleries, art spaces and museums are serious and accomplished artists themselves. I Also Make Art takes a moment to turn the proverbial camera around; exhibiting works by the arts professionals who have expended such energy to showcase the work of others, thereby, making Albuquerque’s vibrant art community a reality.
