ABQ artwalk: Call for NM performers, visual artists & vendors 2026
PERFORMERS: ABQ Artwalk and the Downtown ABQ Mainstreet and Arts & Cultural District are excited to announce a new outdoor performance series debuting Summer 2026!
The series will feature a showcase of live music, spoken word, dance, and other performing arts on outdoor stages throughout Downtown ABQ, and we’re looking for talented local performers to help bring it to life.
The program will run throughout the Summer with a variety of acts selected to perform at different events. This application helps us build a community pool of artists and performers we can draw from as we shape the lineup.
Submitting this form doesn’t guarantee a slot, but it does ensure your work is considered as we plan the series. Performers selected for the season will be contacted in the coming months with more details and next steps.
For best consideration apply by Jan. 30, 2026.
VISUAL ARTISTS & VENDORS: ABQ Artwalk and the Downtown ABQ Mainstreet and Arts & Cultural District are calling for artists and vendors who are interested in participating in our monthly Artwalk!
This application helps us connect with visual artists and vendors who want to share their work, collaborate with local spaces, and help energize Artwalk.
By submitting this form, you’ll join our pool of creatives we look to throughout the year. As opportunities arise, we’ll reach out with next steps and ways to plug in.
