Public Art Contest on Facebook!
Join in the Fun and Win Saige, American Girl's Newest Doll!

American Girl's newest doll, Saige, hails from Albuquerque! She loves horses and painting. She is an arts advocate and organized a march through Old Town to get more funding for art in the schools. She will be visiting various public art projects throughout Albuquerque in the next two weeks.
Here's how the contest will work: When we post a photo of Saige at a public artwork on Facebook, you leave a comment with the title of the piece and the artist's name. Those that answer every post with the correct answer will get placed in a drawing. The winner of the drawing will get to take Saige home and will receive two free tickets to meet the author of the Saige books, Jessie Haas, at the Balloon Museum on May 10th. Don't forget to utilize our Flickr page, the Public Art Archive, Museum without Walls, and our interactive map to help you find the right answers!
