Mountain Road Banners 2020 is a community project involving our history and the talents of thirteen local artists! Each banner image is an original woodcut print representing an aspect of our neighborhood history. The artists each made a drawing, transferred it to the wood, carved the wood, inked it and put it through the press. Then each of those woodcut prints were photographed and enlarged into banners for the twenty six lampposts between 5th and 12th streets on Mountain. The project means so much to the artists and community!
“This new set of banners once again brings the history of our road and our city to life, making it possible for all of our visitors to see!” says Julianna Kirwin, project organizer. “History of the Neighborhood Through the Eyes of Contemporary Artists is a Public Art Project funded in part by the City of Albuquerque, and local businesses… and is now in its second year.”
