Subject: District 3 Art Exhibit Reception featuring Recently Acquired Work from the Bernalillo County Public Art Collection

Dear Friends:   Please join me at an Artist’s Reception for the current District 3 Art Exhibit, New Mexico Perspectives, Thursday, January 12th, 5:00-6:30pm, on the 10th Floor of One Civic Plaza NW, Suite 10111.  This show is the 41st in a series of exhibits showcasing the talent and creativity of Bernalillo County artists.   This exhibit will feature recently acquired pieces from the Bernalillo County Public Art collection and will include work by Kim Arthun, Sondra Diepen, Heidi Pollard and Alan Paine Radebaugh.   Bernalillo County's Public Art Program was established in 1992 with the adoption of the county’s Art in Public Places Ordinance.  The program is funded by one percent of the county's general obligation bonds passed during the general election every two years.  The ordinance also created the Arts Board, a 10-member appointed advisory board that recommends artworks for public acquisition and display. Two members per district are appointed by their respective county commissioner.    The intent of the "Art in Bernalillo County Places" ordinance is to promote and encourage public awareness of the arts and cultural properties and to integrate art into Bernalillo County facilities and structures. The program currently has more than 300 works of art, most of which can be viewed via the Public Art Interactive Map link.  The exhibit will be on display in the County Manager’s Office Suite through March.  The public is welcome to stop by and view the art during regular office hours. Please share this e-mail with your friends, colleagues, neighbors and association members. A RSVP is not necessary. For more information, please call 505-468-7108 or email jhartley@bernco.gov.   Thank you for your continued support of our art shows and I look forward to seeing you on Thursday, January 12th.                 Bernalillo County One Civic Plaza NW 10th Floor, Suite 10111 Albuquerque, NM 87102
