Watch: "Windforms" Mural by Ivan Depeña

Windforms, a 123-foot mural by artist Ivan Toth Depeña, now transforms the west-facing side of Bernalillo County @ Alvarado Square. New Mexico's tallest, painted mural is inspired by the Rio Grande, Sandia Mountains and high desert skies. This bold new landmark uses color, movement and light to celebrate the natural forces that shape our landscape. Funded by Bernalillo County’s Art in Public Place Program, Windforms is more than a mural—it’s a celebration of place.

Watch: Bernalillo County Commission Administrative Meeting, March 25, 2025

The March 25 administrative meeting of the Bernalillo County Board of Commissioners was a significant one, featuring key votes on uncollectable accounts, general obligation bonds, and a new policy guiding glyphosate use through the creation of an Integrated Vegetation Management and Maintenance Plan (IVMMP). Commissioners also adopted proclamations, approved a major housing strategy, and discussed the future of the Mountain View Sector Development Plan.

Be Prepared: PNM Warns of Possible Power Shutoffs in High Fire-Risk Areas

With several high windstorms already this year and wildfire season fast approaching, PNM is alerting customers in high-risk areas—including the East Mountains, Santa Fe, Ruidoso, and more—that extreme weather could trigger a Public Safety Power Shutoff. These shutoffs prevent power lines from sparking wildfires and will only occur when necessary.

PNM urges residents to stay informed and prepare emergency kits in case of an outage. Click the link above for more info.
