The Public Art Urban Enhancement Program is proud to announce the newly created UETF web pages. The UETF has positively impacted Albuquerque's cultural vitality for almost 30 years. These new pages offer a wealth of information, from projects that have been funded in the past as well as guidance for organizations wishing to apply for funding in the future. Thanks to web architect Chantal Foster from FosterMilo for helping us design these pages. Take a look around and let us know what you think!

This past February City Council unanimously voted to approve the UETF Committee's recommendation to fund 23 programs in the upcoming funding cycle. These programs are administered by local non-profit Arts Organizations and help to increase the cultural landscape of Albuquerque. Over $600,000 was awarded to these organizations in the current cycle, including Albuquerque Healthcare for the Homeless, Albuquerque Youth Symphony, Chamber Music Albuquerque and the Outpost Performance Space. Check out the complete listing of recently funded programs. Special thanks to all of the outgoing members of the UETF for all of the time and energy spent during the last two cycles.
