“I had a wonderful time exploring Las Cruces’ public art and discovering the creativity and variety of works throughout the city. Each piece invited a different kind of interaction—from quiet observation to playful participation—and made me appreciate even more how public art enriches our community,” said Janice Ammons, who shared selfies taken at several of our public art works, including one she created.
