SaveArtSpace is proud to present Passion, Pathos, & the Human Potential, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in Albuquerque, NM, starting July 25, 2025, curated by Erin Currier.

Passion, Pathos, & the Human Potential, is a call for art that transcends our many and growing divisions imposed by those in power; to instead recognize that all humans suffer, and to celebrate the passions that unite us, and allow us to potentially overcome.

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between April 29 and June 9, 2025. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in Albuquerque, NM.

Open call for art ends June 9, 2025. There is a small donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art. Selected artists will be announced after June 23, 2025. Public art will be installed July 25, 2025 in Albuquerque, NM, and will be on view for at least one month.

Curator

My artistic practice has taken me on a lifelong “shoestring” adventure—packed with action and magic—that has variously found me training in Beijing with Kung Fu masters; tango dancing in Buenos Aires; in riots in Chile; eating dinner on dirt floors with Tibetan exiles in Nepal and at the dinner tables of famed filmmakers in Italy; on the couches of Panthers and Weather Underground; in medicinal ceremonies in the Amazonian jungle; at Tahrir Square with a million Egyptians... I am a humanist artist: unapologetically narrative, and for whom art and the social world are inseparable. I use the proceeds of the sales of my art to witness the world firsthand—i.e.-when I sell a painting, I buy a plane ticket and go!
