This store is an adventure filled with New Mexican chachkis and jewelry. As per my usual routine, I perused the jewelry, and there was a terrific selection--colorful, fun, folk artsy, and pretty. Some had Frida Khalo on it. Super cute. I picked up two pair for a steal of 2 for $7. There's tons of New Mexican art, sugar skull stuff and masks. The gentleman behind the counter was helpful and friendly. If you need to pick up a gift with New Mexican flavor, this is the spot. I got a gift there--for me! read more

There is a huge selection of art, clothing, ornaments, jewelry and anything else you can think of. I was in search of a few marigolds for our alter and found them for $1 each. I would have expected more costumes and shirts for Dia de los Muertos. The owner was kind and friendly. Fun to wander around if you are not even looking to buy. There was a steady flow of people. Small business at its best. read more

I wrote a LONG review for this business months ago. Full of pictures. Somehow it has disappeared. Do I will do a short version. The manager was great!!

Learned about the artists, and so much more! This location is full of beautiful original & handmade art. From pictures, paintings, found piece art, wooden statues, jewelry, and so much more! They also have great pieces to bring home as souvenirs! What's not to love!! One of the best places I visited while in New Mexico! Sorry that I cannot repost pictures, but deleted them after my original review. I'd highly recommend this store. A must visit if you're in the area! read more

Beautiful gifts and artwork jewelry I collect New Mexican and Native art and I dig this store I didn't want to leave. It's ausome I love my New Mexico culture the art is firme.5 stars read more

Like most of my species, I'm absolutely fascinated by the one thing we'll collectively never know anything about until we get there: death. I suppose this is why I insist on designating my agnostic position from its atheist cousin; while I'm pretty doubtful The Other Side exists, hey, what do I know? As the Digable Planets would say, We're just babies, man. When the End comes for me, I'd personally prefer a spirit realm that keeps me close to the place I left, as opposed to clouds and gates and wings on my back. And plenty of flowers, while I'm there. This connected Otherworld is the stuff of dia de los muertos and it's celebrated year-round at Mask Y Mas, a delightful local artisan collective in Nob Hill. The Mas is plentiful: paintings, sculpture, figurines, clothing and accessories, this is an excellent shop that represents the 505's fascination and dedication to the neighboring holiday. Smart, tasteful and anything but tacky, these skeletons have serious flayvah, and some of the work is so sharp I find myself astonished by the significant talent pool of our local creative community. We have some seriously gifted artists crafting the character of our desert home, and here they shine. Masks Y Mas sits at the top of my personal echelon for gifts that proudly boast New Mexico, and I advise a visit to foreigners and locals alike. Because hey, as Pitbull rightly notes, for all we know we might not get tomorrow... read more

Masks Y Mas - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Omg I wish I could buy out the entire store lol. The owner seems like a great guy and I LOVE the mural on the store!

Oh wonderful staple in Nob Hill! When you're looking for anything colorful and it related to the other smartest this is a place to go! Always friendly service and variety! read more

Stopped in to get a Catrina figurine and found the one I like. They have lots of choices and Kenny (manager) is super helpful. I hope to get more in the future. read more

Interesting shop. I just moved out here. Was browsing to get an idea of stuff I might want to buy for my house at some point. Cashier called me a fat asshole upon exiting shop. THAT is poor customer service not too mention a bit of disgruntled narcissism thrown in. NOT RETURNING EVER! NOT GETTING MY MONEY!!!!! read more

This store is RAD! It's so radtastical that as I aimlessly wandered throughout the store with my mouth agape I kept mumbling about how much I loved Mask Y Mas. Easily my favorite stop during my exploratory journey. I loved all the luchadores masks and all the los muertos artwork. I'm hoping they get their website up and running soon so I can order some pieces and have them shipped. I could have easily spent a lot more time in this shop and spent a lot of money while I was at. If you're going to be checking out shops near the university or off of Route 66 Masks is definitely worth the short trip over. The staff were cool and friendly. They greeted everyone as they walked through the door and would check in on people as they enjoyed the shop. It was pretty obvious they are used to people just walking around and enjoying their store. Check it out! I'm a fan! read more

There was a lot to like here. The prices were pretty good, the art was great, and the selection was huge. I found a Frida shirt for only $15 and Guadalupe barrettes for $3, so I was pretty happy. read more

This is one of, or if not the most vibrant shop in Nob Hill. From the bright and celebratory paint job on the exterior to the crazy selection of Mexican wresting masks in both adult and children's sizes. The store consists of three rooms the main one with jewelry and applied arts, the one to the left which is a gallery of visual arts and jewelry, and the room to the right which has t shirts and more masks (such as an oversize diablo) and other apparel. Even if you do not find the perfect gift for someone, it is definitely worth a wonder in. I love the bone sculptures in the room to the left. read more

We showed up at 11:45 and saw a note that said they'd be right back. They open at 11 so that was odd. Came back 15 min later and they were open. Store is neat and we bought some great souvenirs and a pretty top. read more

Kiko, Kenny and the others at Masks y Mas are everything retail shopping should be. Everytime I set foot in this store, I am immediately welcomed not just greeted. My wife and I have developed a love for muertos figures and such and the authentic pieces from local and international artists are always welcome additions in our home. For those not looking to invest in a $600 piece of art, there are plenty of other fun and random items to enjoy and purchase. If you're in Nob Hill, missing this place should be a crime. read more

An interesting store within the nob hill area along central. Lots of different types of art, masks and sculptures along with hand-crafted jewelry and accessories. I recommend taking some time to really appreciate what all is in this store. It's full of culturally inspired items and unusual treasures for yourself or someone else. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. My favorite items were the paintings. I believe they were done by local artists, but either way, I was in awe of many of the pieces displayed in this store. read more

This is the place. You want New Mexico folk art? You want Mexican folk art? Best place in Burque. Hands down!!

Fun place! Tons of cool stuff, especially if you love Day of the Dead! The guy working was so nice. We really enjoyed this shop!

This shop was recommended by the university staff and it was THE PLACE TO GO! I'm telling everyone to spend your money here because you will find something for everyone! Compared to all the other shops visited this one has super great prices. More importantly, it has a great cultural vibe! It's a true gem for the city of Albuquerque. If you're looking for something specific ask Edward at the counter- he is SO helpful. As bargain- seeking tourists, this is heaven. read more

Best art and nik naks store in town, I'm sure of it. I could have spent all day and all paycheck there. You can get your favorite folk art doll in different sizes and materials. Super friendly and helpful sales and owners. Would love to have a show here or get some help on my limited edition giclees. read more

Whenever I visit my family in Albuquerque, aside from trying to eat a toxic amount of green chile, fantastic Thai & Indian cuisine, if I do nothing else I visit Masks y Mas. I can easily spend an hour or more checking everything out, shoot the breeze with the massively accommodating owner, Kiko Torres, and see artists coming & going. The very interesting offerings range in price & Kiko will gladly negotiate. Getting a 'Day of the Dead' jones typing this review here in Kentucky... read more

At first you might think this is just another touristy store full of overpriced junk that is imported but thats not what this is. Although there is a good amount of imported stuff here what's most impressive is the collection of original artwork done by local artists. There are several media represented including a cool papermache piece. The guy working was nice. Definitely would come back. read more

I went into this store recently like I have been for years and I think I had the pleasure of running into the owner! He was very friendly and took time to talk to me about the art work. Now, about the art work! Wow! I love going in there to see the new art work they have chosen to put up for sale. I unfortunately can not afford such beautiful paintings but some day I hope to buy one from here! read more

Pretty awesome shop. Very eclectic, local folk art adorns the walls and racks and shelves. Wanted to buy something there but could not get it safely home to San Francisco in my suitcase so had to pass. Very fun place I would recommend it to check out the local scene! read more

The owner is "SO NICE" at Msks Y Mas. We got a great deal on a beautiful framed painting for our new home; so happy with it, and the customer service provided there. You HAVE to check out this store; it has something for everyone, and fabulous artwork as well. It was mine and my husband;s 6th anniversary & the store owner not only gave him a military discount, but was so sweet in giving us a heart! What a refreshing change from the normal treatment of some shop owner's in Albuquerque. Go here if you're military or just want a taste of New Mexico, you won't regret it! XOXOX to Mask Y Mas - I will be buying all furture gifts for friends & family at this establishment!!! read more

From East LA we made it again and Mask y Mas remains the place to visit when we come to Albuquerque! People are friendly and attentive. We have a lot of respect for businesses that understand our cultural expressions with pride. I look forward to coming back. Much love and respect read more

We stopped here last week during a trip to ABQ, and loved, loved, loved this store! The guys there are very helpful and the store is a treat to shop in. We spent 20 minutes with the guys discussing where we should have dinner! They gave us great recommendations and they were really nice and gracious. So many cool things at this store - If you're in ABQ, even for just a few days, be sure to stop in! read more
