Quantum Bridge (almost) Successfully Completed!



 Quantum Bridge, one of Albuquerque's largest (and certainly the newest) murals was dedicated this past Sunday at Warehouse 508. Aaron Noble, the lead artist, and several of the apprentice artists were on hand to discuss the process. Local artist Larry Bob Phillips was there too, and helped paint portions of the mural.
There are a few more finishing touches to be made, but otherwise the mural is complete! Be sure to attend the numerous programs that are part of Heart of the City, where Aaron Noble will also produce a smaller, portable mural for the exhibition at 516 ARTS.
