THE AGENCY ARTS AND MUSIC SPACE CLOSING ITS DOORS MARCH 31, 2009

(ALBUQUERQUE, NM) It's time for the renegade event space, The Agency, to pack up its live recording and production equipment and close its doors after one year of art openings, music shows, performances, and production work. The last show at The Agency will be the "Farewell Party" on March 28th, starting at 6pm, and everyone is invited to attend.

"I am very happy to announce that we are closing The Agency on a good note," said Jason Wolf, owner and manager of the gallery / studio / event space / venue. "We have had a very successful run with the space by offering an outlet for artists, musicians, and performers to express themselves. We are not closing the space due to bankruptcy, illegal activity, or corruption, but rather because it's simply that time and we are proud of our community service and track record," added Wolf.

The Agency has hosted opening receptions for over 35 local artists, provided professional stage, lights, and sound system to over 60 live bands and recorded and produced over 40 live performances. The Agency has also welcomed full-eature and independent film crews to work and shoot in the space, screened a handful of short films, and provided space to yoga instructors over the past year since the Grand Opening on March 29th, 2008.

"It's been a great run and I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has played, performed, worked, or attended events at The Agency. It was not possible without your support. I especially want to extend my greatest sincerity and gratitude to those who joined me in running the space as a labor of love and never expected a single cent of compensation for their work", added Wolf. "I will personally miss the space and the people that made it into what it is known for - a great place to hear, see, and appreciate all types of art, performance and music."

The Agency is Albuquerque's only "Live Recording Venue" and has a string of shows and performances scheduled for the rest of March followed by its "Farewell Party" on March 28th, 2009, which will feature Live music from Agency E, IRSglitch, and more. The event is open to the public, all-ages, and free for all to say "Thank you for your support".

The Agency is located at 111 4th St. SW. ABQ. NM. 87102. For more information and to view the archive of past events at The Agency, visit http://www.the-agency.org.
