Things to do in Albuquerque, New Mexico (NM): The Best Paint & Pottery Studios
Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see. But the history doesn't stop there. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Petroglyph National Monument offer a glimpse of old Indian customs and art. Families will find plenty to do at the Albuquerque Biological Park, which features a zoo, aquarium and botanic garden. Outdoor types will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking and golf. After working up an appetite, head to any number of fine restaurants that serve up a choice of hot or even hotter New Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for spectacular views of all this vibrant city has to offer.

The only place you can make a mess with paint without having to clean up after! We believe in the freedom of creative expression, without pressure and without expectations. Paint outside the lines...even outside the canvas. The wall and floors are fair game. Good for all ages.

Paint Nite is not an art class--it’s a party! We blend artistic painting and drinking cocktails in local bars and restaurants, where our master artists can walk you through creating a beautiful piece of artwork step-by-step. The 2-hour Paint Nite painting parties are held daily with about 25 people, who enjoy a night out while turning a blank canvas into a masterpiece!
