Creative Arts Center

The Creative Arts Center is one of the largest facilities on the Expo New Mexico fairgrounds in Albuquerque, next to the Exhibit Halls and Tingley Coliseum. Plenty of well-lit, large open space makes it a fit for car shows, arts and crafts fairs, dog shows, auctions, cooking demonstrations and cookware shows, and the building has hosted a New Mexico Brick Convention. Exhibit areas run along the east, southeast and southwest sides of the interior, with entrances on the north. An on-site prep kitchen and a dedicated parking lot make it one of the most sought after venues on the grounds. The fairgrounds publish an event calendar sorted into arts and crafts, home and trade, sports, entertainment and animal categories. The entrance, parking and restroom are wheelchair accessible, and card payments are accepted. Rated 4.6 from 87 Google reviews, 66 of them five stars and 2 one star. A paid parking lot is listed for visitors.
