Mosaics of Central New Mexico

C e n t r a l Albuquerque
East of Broadway, North of Coal/Zuni, and South of Menaul
Throughout Albuquerque,
groups of adults and children
have worked with lead artists
to create unique and decorative
mosaics. One Percent for the
Arts and other organizations
have helped with support and
funding, as well as many
business owners. Individual
mosaic artists have also created
works of joy for the public.
