 | Albuquerque Regional Cultural Centers Reviews | 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
I've lived here for over a decade, and can honestly say I don't spend enough time here. The Pueblo Cultural Center is a wonderful way to learn about the 19 local pueblos, and their cultures. In addition to the requisite musuem and gift shop, there are children's exhibits and cultural events every weekend. All but the musuems are free to the public. And if you snag a local, the museums entry will only cost you $6! The museums include more modern exhibits that cycle throughout the year, and the underground museum of pueblo history ... both amazing, both special!
My buddy's go to the restaurant several times a week for lunch, and they can't say enought about the food.
I love the courtyard ..... with the murals, green grass, traditional oven, and activity. This pic was taken on a weekday, so not too active. On the weekend, this is where the cultural dances and events occur, so it's quite a hub of activity on those days :) Leave a Comment Address: 2401 12th Street NWPhone: 505-843-7270Directions: On 12th, north of I-40 ..... west side of the street.Website: www.indianpueblo.org

 Promenade at the National
Hispanic Cultural Center by danmike
The NHCC presents the best in Hispanic plays, concerts, films, art, flamenco dancing, salsa and symphony concerts. It has hosted a Chile Harvest Festival and various events for children during the summer and, at Halloween, a Day of the Dead celebration.
Open everyday is the 11,000 sf main gallery. It exhibits contemporary, traditional, and classic Hispanic art from around the world. This gallery hosted a show of the Hispanic art collection of actor/comedian Cheech Marin which boasted the largest attendance for an art opening in New Mexico history. A visiting Los Angeles official who toured the center said that the facility is "the model center that represents the greatest and largest vision for a Hispanic Cultural Center in the US."
If you are visiting Albuquerque put the NHCC at the very top of your "must see" list. If you live here and have never been to the NHCC kick yourself and go today.

 Pueblo Centre by lovemycacti
Traditional dance performances and artists demonstrations are held every weekend, free to the public. Cameras are permitted and encouraged, just be sure to leave a monetary donation in the box for the dancers!
When taking pictures of the dancers be polite and quiet and give thanks to them for sharing their traditions and talents.
Be sure to tour the heart of the center - the museum! Averagely priced, it is a must-see. Be sure to pick up some pamphlets in the lobby and guides to the 19 pueblos. Leave a Comment Address: 2401 12th Street NWPhone: (505) 843-7270Directions: 1 block N of I-40.

 South Broadway Cultural Center by danmike
With its stylish post-modern architecture, art gallery featuring rotating exhibitions by local artist and 300 seat performing arts theater there is always something to see and do at the SBCC.
Productions at the center focus mostly on multi-cultural things but have included everything from the San Francisco Mime Troupe, local Hispanic theater companies and elaborately produced plays by local drag performers.
The center has multi-purpose rooms available for local auditions, script readings and poetry readings. Give the SBCC a call to find out what's going on this weekend in the art gallery and theater or visit the city library branch that shares the building.

 Hispanic Cultural Center by JamesABQ
"The architectural design of the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) was created to accommodate a wealth of cultural programs developed by Center staff with the assistance of leading New Mexico Hispanic artists, educators, scholars; and business people. Many architectural features recall building styles of Spain and Latin America." Leave a Comment
