Event Preview featuring a limited selection of houses during ABQ Artwalk on May 8.
This year’s Little House Auction (on Friday, May 15 at FUSION) will feature 200 Little Houses, PLUS an exhibition of 2D artwork including paintings and mixed media artwork by local artists including Issac AlaridPease, Nikki Joseph, and Tracey Baca.
The Event Preview during ABQ Artwalk on Friday, May 8 at FUSION will featuring about half of the auction houses, plus exhibition artwork, and raffle houses.
Unfortunately, we aren’t able to include all of the fantastic little houses in the preview. Come get a sneak peek at a sample of the work and then come back the following Friday to see ALL the houses and bid at the auction!
The premise of the Little House Auction is simple: artists are invited to build a tiny house on a base measuring no larger than 6 by 6 inches. The resulting creations are wildly diverse and always inspiring! Using wood, ceramic, fabric, paper, metal, and boundless imagination, participants transform these tiny footprints into everything from miniature tabletop mansions, clay abodes, and tiny birdhouses to petite paintings and wearable "Little House" jewelry.
While the artworks are small, the spirit of generosity behind them is huge. Every dollar raised through winning bids directly funds OffCenter's mission to provide a free, safe, and welcoming environment for art-making and social connection. These proceeds ensure that hundreds of artists of all ages have access to free art supplies, studio space, and classes throughout the year.

+ Plus: OffCenter was thrilled to host the fantastic youth garden group YoAgCo (Youth Agricultural Cooperative) in our printmaking studio this spring to support their design and creation of YoAgCo screenprinted bags and sweatshirts! They’ll be joining us at FUSION during ABQ Artwalk on May 8 with YoAgCo merch and plant starts for sale!
