City/County Public Art Open House   



 

The City of Albuquerque's and Bernalillo County's Public Art Programs are pleased to invite the public to a special viewing of the Public Art Collections at the City County Government Center, January 20, from 5 to 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided and local musicians will perform. This event is free, no reservations are required.  

 The Albuquerque Public Art Urban Enhancement Program will also be releasing the much awaited 2012 Public Art Brochure, featuring maps and images of much of the collection throughout the city. Public Art trading cards will be given to kids and those "young at heart", and a preview screening of the latest Public Art Mini-Documentary entitled "Flyway" produced by Anthony DellaFlora and GOV-TV will be shown on the 7th floor. (Watch our other videos here.)    

Visitors to City Hall should note that there is a movie being made downtown and Marquette will be closed from 2nd street to 6th street. Parking at Civic Plaza is available by entering from Tijeras, on the south side of Civic Plaza, between 3rd and 4th streets. Once you have parked, please make your way to the civic plaza level and look for the signs. Event programs will be available in the first floor lobby of the north building, at 5th and Marquette.
