Mariposa Gallery Inc

This is a fabulous gallery in Albuquerque. The selection of art is vast! There are so many different styles and media represented by local New Mexican artists. There is also an enormous selection of jewelry and ceramic pieces for home decor and functional use. I truly recommend this gallery!

Sure, New Mexico touts an artisan community that rivals any community in the world. That's a pretty obvious statement. We have Santa Fe, the "City Different", home to painters, sculptors and other artists the world over who thrive (even in a recession), and the town houses its share of artists who practice artisan athletics, music, meditation, what have you. We have Taos and the surrounding communes, wherein you'll find celebrated maestros, architects and off-the-grid nomads; if you haven't driven west toward the gorge, put it on your travel to-do list, you won't be disappointed. Key word: earth ships. Silver City: artisan hideout. Same goes for Tularosa, Cloudcroft, Los Ojos, Red River, Jemez, Zuni, San Antonio... I could go on and on. These are the sneaky peeks, the places where funky personas with wild ideas relocate, where they can live in relative calm, bask under endlessly open skies, where they often create grand visionary works that encompass the entirety of their lifetime journeys. O'Keefe did the same at Ghost Ranch.Personally, I love bumping into a gallery or a store along my travels, where these fascinating people will find a few minutes for some straight talk about their work. I've found them in corners of the state I never imagined they could exist, but they do, they persist, and I'm always thrilled to find them. I often wonder how they survive. Surely, selling the occasional canvass to the wandering traveler won't pay the rent. Enter Mariposa, a gallery in the heart of Nob Hill which showcases 90%+ local artists. Paintings, mixed-media and a smattering of jewelry provide welcome access to some of the most vital artists in the New Mexico realm. This place focuses on artists who remain just below the radar, who could use a little financial backing. The business has grown with time, changing locations twice, and over the years they've developed a long list of artists who've benefited from their publicity and advocacy and now give back, promoting the next generation.Fantastic. You don't have to visit with the intent of a purchase. Come and devour with your eyes. You won't forget it.

Mariposa Gallery is THE place to find original and creative pieces from paintings to jewelry to pottery and funky sculptures. I love the space and the eccentric owner Liz. They have great affordable options for original artworks and I also shop here for fun gifts for loved ones.

Wonderful gallery of fine art. Knowledgeable and passionate staff. Bought several pieces to bring home. Multiple visits are inevitable.

Interesting gallery & lovely hand crafted, one of a kind jewelry. I purchased some charming Postali earrings yesterday and i'm in love.

This place is overlooked but it is a local gem. I buy gifts here for the special people in my life and for myself. I especially love the Susan Skinner jewelry and anything by Greg Tucker. Liz, the owner, will give you great personal attention to help you find what you are looking for, or what you didn't even know you were looking for. Then she will wrap it up for you with an amazing handmade bow. The art they showcase is unique but affordable, and stuff you would want to hang on your wall.

Mariposa Gallery is the place for fine crafts in Albuquerque. Next to Scalo, in Nob Hill, the gallery has well made, unique objects. From the very interesting and delicate sculptures to a huge offering of very nice jewelry as well as objects by Ken Saville, it's my favorite place to shop for birthdays and weddings.

Really interesting, creative pieces -- beautiful jewelry and artwork. Love this place! Great for unique jewelry.

If you're looking for creative art or interesting jewelry, Mariposa Gallery is the place for you. It's located in the heart of Nob Hill. They represent a number of high-end artists and their walls and cases are full of their wares. I have bought several pieces of jewelry over the years and they are still some of my favorite pieces. The two women who own the shop are welcoming and share their expertise and suggestions willingly. A great addition to the artsy feel of Nob Hill. Dog friendly too.
