Harwood Art Center

Seeded in 1991, Harwood Art Center blooms the philosophy of our parent organization Escuela Del Sol Montessori, with recognition that learning and expression offer the most resilient pathways to global citizenship, justice and peace. Harwood engages the arts as a catalyst for lifelong learning, cultural enrichment and social change, with programming for every age, background and income level.

We believe that equitable access to the arts and opportunities for creative expression are integral to healthy individuals and thriving communities. In all of our work, we cultivate inclusive, reflective environments where everyone feels cared for. We nurture long-term, multi-faceted relationships with participants, building programs with and for diverse communities of Albuquerque. We integrate the arts with social justice, professional and economic growth, and education to cultivate a higher collective quality of life in New Mexico.

We offer adult arts classes, drawing sessions, Summer Art Camps for kids and Teens, gallery exhibitions, venue rentals, artist studios, many seasonal job opportunities for artists and several wonderful annual events celebrating the immense artistic talents found here in New Mexico.
