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.
