Messy Raven: A gallery and community centered space to create and learn

Calendar 
What is Messy Raven?

Part gallery space and part Corrales (and beyond) community space. Want to teach a skill? Want to learn a skill? Need a spot to meet your language group? Want to have an art popup? You get the idea.

❋ About

Birthed in my previous space on Corrales Rd as a baby idea that didn’t quite work in that spot. We wanted a community hang out space with art workshops and other events. That location couldn’t hold that idea and now the idea has grown.

❋ Community

I have quietly volunteered my time to a lot of events and organizations in Corrales and I’ve learned two important things:

Corrales needs more places to gather for sharing/learning.

I’m not happy or fulfilled unless I’m being of service in some way. 

❋ Access to Skills

It takes a village.

Our community has a lot of knowledge and now more than ever, we need to pull together to see how we can support each other and learn from each other.

This isn’t limited to art, even though I am an artist.

Personally, I’m an artist but I’m also a former geochemist, a gardener, a language learner, a knitter, a photographer, a community organizer, a mom, a wildlife rescue organization volunteer, and a healer.

Everyone I talk to has hidden skills and things they love to do. Want to teach something? Let’s do it.

❋ A Supportive Space

I’m fully aware this is a wild time to open another space. But this is why it’s the right time.

My art will be in there. That’s a way to support me so I can support you. I have some fun ideas in the works and will hold classes of my own too.

You can teach a workshop.

You can show your art.

Co-creating time? Come work with me.

There are tables and chairs to work at and paper to cover the floor. There’s a calendar of events. Let’s create and share.

I’m going with the flow a bit and I’m sure it will evolve and take shape as it grows.
