Public Art Program Announces Finalists for Tiny Home Village Project
The Bernalillo County Arts Board has approved the recommendations of the selection committee of the top three proposals for a public art project at the Tiny Home Village. The selection committee was made up of representatives from the Albuquerque Indian Center, Arts Board members, local community members, and other stakeholders.
The three finalists are:
- Helen Atkins
- Paula Castillo
- Jodie Herrera
The county has invited the three artists to submit detailed, site-specific proposals for the project and present their ideas to the public. The presentations will take place virtually and will be announced soon. After the three artists present, the Arts Board will select a finalist to create the public art project.
Please see the Bernalillo County Public Art Program website for more details.

The Bernalillo County Public Art Program
Bernalillo County's Public Art Program was established in 1992 with the adoption of the county’s Art in Public Places Ordinance, enacted in 1992 (revised 1997).
The county's Public Art Program believes that public art can:
- Energize public spaces, inspire thought, and transform live, work and play places
- Heighten awareness, question assumptions, transform the landscape, express community values, and help define a community’s identity
- Have an economic benefit for a community by attracting visitors, and by supporting artists and local businesses
The program currently has over 450 works of art, most of which can be viewed via the Public Art Collection Story Map and Betty Sabo Inventory Story Map.
