GO Bond – Las Cruces Fire Station #9 Public Art Project
Budget: $100,000
Project Intent
General:
The City of Las Cruces Public Art program (LCPA) has commissioned an artist to create a site-specific outdoor art piece to promote the forthcoming Fire Station #9. The criteria for the art piece is that it be evocative of the history and ethos of the local firefighting community, adds identity to the fire station and neighborhood, serves as a focal point of the fire station, and is visible from several vantage points. It may be inspired by an original Las Cruces 1915 pumper that will be displayed in the fire station lobby. The art piece will be prominently installed in front of the new Fire Station facility.

Red Hawk golf course sits adjacent to the area.
