Welcome to the Outpost
Since 1988, Outpost, Albuquerque’s NONPROFIT, MEMBER-SUPPORTED, Community-Based Performing Arts Center, has been THE PLACE TO BE for live music, jazz, roots, folk, world, education and art. Click HERE to learn more about becoming a MEMBER or DONATING.
Outpost Productions has been a nonprofit arts organization since 1988. Since 1990, we’ve made our home at the Outpost Performance Space, a unique and intimate, non-smoking, non-alcohol, storefront alternative performance venue.
In the spring of 2000, The Space moved to 210 Yale SE just two blocks south of Central in the heart of the University District. An elegant, nonprofit, no-nonsense, community-based, performing arts center.
Scenes from the 2007-2008 Outpost Season
Since our spring and summer seasons had to be cancelled due to the CoVid-19 pandemic and we don’t know when we’ll be able to open again for all the great performances at The Space (& beyond!), we thought this would be a good chance to share some videos from past seasons that we have created over the years for grant applications and such. It’s always fun and amazing to look back and remember the incredible variety of performances we have had the privilege to experience at the Outpost year after year. We thought you would enjoy taking a look back as well! The 2007-2008 Outpost Season alone (see video below) featured Stefon Harris & Blackout; Ingrid Jensen; Chris Calloway; Red, Hot & Red; Kurt Elling; Mose Allison; Wynton Marsalis & the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra; Marie Knight; Kelly Jo Phelps; Po Girl; Carolina Chocolate Drops; Iva Bittova; Nicole Mitchell, Hamid Drake, George Lewis; Habib Koite; Zakir Hussain’s Masters of Percussion; Inpost Artspace Gallery; A.B.
