The City of Las Cruces is set to introduce a new splash of culture into the lives of its citizens with a public art installation at Buena Vida Park, located at 3000 Buena Vida Drive, beginning posthaste on Tuesday, November 18th, as reported by the City of Las Cruces. This endeavor, spearheaded by the Quality of Life Department Public Art Program, enters the concrete phase as foundations are laid to secure the impending sculptures that hope to catch the eye and engage the minds of park-goers.
With art comes a slight inconvenience as the installment process necessitates the temporary closure of the park's picnic area and its adjacent sculpture location, the installation’s commencement promises a brief disruption that is slated to span just over two days; residents can expect the site to be cleared and ready for public entrée by Wednesday, November 19, the announcement outlined detailed plans for public engagement, the city advised park visitors to give a wide berth to the work and staging areas ensuring safety and efficiency for all involved.
Community members seeking more information about the art installation, or those with inquiries about the scheduled closures, can reach out directly to Ceci Vasconcellos, the city's Public Art Coordinator, who is readily available to field questions. Vasconcellos can be contacted through a variety of channels, including by phone at (575) 541-2780/TTY711 or via email, the latter evidenced by her published contact address [email protected].
