The Public Art Urban Enhancement Program has just implemented a new opportunity for artists residing in Albuquerque to create temporary public art works. The program, called IN-SIGHT, asks artists to show Albuquerque residents and visitors how they see the world, through the installation of temporary artworks. Artists are encouraged to challenge traditional artistic mediums, and explore unconventional ways to enhance our city.
