Our primary goal is to support underrepresented, emerging artists in northern New Mexico through creative development, exposure & conceptual discourse. We also seek to deepen communal connections & facilitate personal growth by hosting a variety of events. Our miscellaneous, free-form style keeps things interesting, open and, most importantly, FUN! All loving humans are welcome to play with us at their leisure.

Abstract Picnic: Community Guidelines
Our collective is centered around community building and art making of all disciplines to uplift artists in New Mexico. We believe art flourishes when people thrive and strive to nurture a space where everyone can show up as their full, authentic selves. All loving humans are welcome to join us in celebrating our human experience through creativity, inclusivity, curiosity, experimentation & mutual respect.
Our Shared Commitments:
Creativity & Collaboration: Co-creation is a gift that, be it art or communal events, amplifies possibilities, invites learning, fosters growth and honors the collective magic of shared expression. We believe everyone has something beautiful to contribute to our community.
Radical Inclusion: We welcome artists, dreamers, doers and wanderers of every background, identity and experience. Diversity makes our collective richer, more vibrant and visionary.
Compassion & Care: Kindness is our baseline. We practice patience, active listening and nourishing feedback in all of our endeavors. When conflict and difference arise, we meet them with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
Safety & Respect: Abstract Picnic is a safe, inclusive and loving space. Hate speech, harassment, discrimination, or slander of any kind has no home here. Our members treat everyone, artists, guests and neighbors alike, with dignity, honesty and care. We ask for consent and respect boundaries. We protect the emotional and physical safety of our community members so creativity can thrive. Be real. Be kind. Be accountable.
