While Artscrawl is AABA's most visible project, behind the scenes AABA is working hard to educate the public about art and promote Albuquerque as an art destination. Classes are periodically offered at UNM Continuing Education for those of you who are interested in learning more about art but don't want to go gallery hopping alone. The courses provide an overview of Albuquerque's art venues, festivals, public events and centers for learning with guest speakers and a guided field trip/tour utilizing the monthly Artscrawl event. AABA is also involved in special projects including the fourth annual exhibit of work by young artists in the "Art in the School" program; juried shows of work by APS high school students in galleries along Central Avenue, annual events such as the home show at High Desert in June 2001, and the  promotion of "Take an Art Walk" through this web site.
