The City of Albuquerque's Public Art Urban Enhancement Program, one of the oldest in the country, began in 1978, with the passage of the Art in Municipal Places Ordinance. This forward thinking initiative set aside 1% of the City of Albuquerque's construction funds derived from the general obligation bond program and certain revenue bonds for the purchase or commission of works of art.   For additional information on all of the public art installations in Albuquerque, visit www.cabq.gov/publicart or www.abq311.com. For additional information on the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund visit www.cabq.gov/uetf. TTY users call 711.
