Center of the City Film Screening at the Albuquerque Museum!
Join the Albuquerque Historical Society at the Albuquerque Museum on April 21st at 2:00pm for a FREE screening of Marking Time: The Center of the City Project. The Albuquerque Public Art program was inspired to find the 1912 and 2012 geographical centers of Albuquerque after publication of a story by Leslie Linthicum of the Albuquerque Journal. A 30 minute film with much archival footage, produced by Tony de la Flora, will describe the search. Director of the City's Public Art Program, Sherri Bruggemann, will describe the public art pieces commissioned to mark these two areas.
