Are you interested in becoming a Public Art Scout? These temporary positions are compensated opportunities through Rokh. Scouts will receive a wage of $13 per hour and a monthly data stipend of $70.
Public art holds a significant role within our community, serving as a mirror to our values and heritage. The City of Albuquerque / Bernalillo County's Public Art for All Census, orchestrated by Rokh, is dedicated to advancing equity and spatial justice in the realm of visual arts.
Rokh's committed research team, in collaboration with Public Art Scouts, will embark on an assessment of Bernalillo County to evaluate the fairness of public art distribution in our locality. Their findings will guide endeavors to expand public access to art throughout the area, thereby solidifying it as a fundamental component of our community's infrastructure.
Submit your application at publicartforall.com before Monday, Nov. 13, 2023, and become a part of this transformative initiative.

About Us
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 more than 500 works of art, most of which can be viewed via the Public Art Collection Story Map and Betty Sabo Inventory Story Map.
