ABQ, City of Murals

For those of us who drive around Albuquerque every day, there is a vague recognition that we are a city of murals, but no one, until now, has made it official. Well, a new website has catalogued over 70 of the 500 or so murals in the Duke City. And when you take a look, you will see that ABQ has a remarkable collection of murals by some exceptionally talented artists. The website, MurosABQ.com, which shows the top murals in the city, has demonstrated that our city is a national gallery for murals. My favorites are Francis Rivera’s Desert Bloom at the South Broadway Cultural Center (seen above) and Nani Chacon’s Resilience at Washington Middle School. Take a look for your favorites.

 Here’s the link to the MurosABQ website and the KRQE story.
