The Friends of the NMFRHM invites you to a discussion with Ceci Vasconcellos, Director of the Public Art Program for the City of Las Cruces/Quality of Life Department. Some 50 public artworks are found on City property, including the much-loved water tank murals, the iconic Recycled Roadrunner on I-10, artworks in various media in City parks and facilities, and many more murals and sculptures throughout the city. Vasconcellos has coordinated the city-mandated program since 2021. With a commitment of two percent of government obligation bonds funding public works projects, the program commissions and acquires artwork by local, regional and national artists. Learn more about what public art is, the art you enjoy around the city, Las Cruces’ Public Art Program and how to get involved in shaping public art in Las Cruces.
