The Airway Lights have already seen dif-

The city’s attention to creating a more
attractive public landscape is a good thing,
he said, “but I feel they can focus more on
local artists than just regional or national,”
He noted local artists like himself and Ho
Baron have been adding their own flour-
ishes to their neighborhoods. Marcus’s art-
filled home in Sunset Heights features sev-
eral outdoor sculptures and other features,
and Baron’s home sculpture garden at
Aurora and Piedras is home to many large-
scale outdoor works.
Nonprofits have also spearheaded city-
wide beautification projects, such as the
“Art & Sol” Sun Project launched more
than ten years ago by Impact: Programs of
Excellence. The project featured several
large “sun” orbs, and more than a dozen
selected artists created their own interpre-
tations. The project was turned over to the
City of El Paso, and the suns still rotate
throughout various public spaces.
Perhaps the most notable of all public art
projects is The Equestrian, the mammoth
sculpture by the late John Houser installed
in 2006 at the entrance to El Paso
International Airport. It followed the larg-
er-than-life monument to Fray Garcia
erected in 1996 at downtown’s Pioneer
Plaza, the first of what was conceived as
the XII Travelers of the Southwest project.
Marcus would like to see more tours and
guides available for public art works, as

includes many features inside buildings.

Montecillo’s Montecillo Murals Project,
curated by the multimedia group
EXIST1981, featuring works by regional
artists like Celeste Byers, Jeremiah
Navarro, Carly Ealey, and internationally
known artist Fintan Magee. Magee, some-
times called “The Australian Banksy,” said
in an interview with El Paso’s Art
Avenue’s publication he was inspired by
area around him for his four-story mural
“Between Worlds.”
“Living in a place that is surrounded by
water, it was really interesting seeing this
parallel world that locals call the border,”
Magee said in the interview.
Also on the Westside are the “Greetings
From El Paso” mural at The Substation
shopping area created by the Greetings
Tour cross country mural project; and the
Frida Kahlo mural hidden behind La
Villita, created by Tucson artists Johanna
Martinez and Rene Garcia.
Many new murals have arisen on the
edge of the Segundo Barrio along the
southern end of the El Paso Streetcar
route, created by local artists like LxsDos,
as well as on the interior of Southwest
University Park painted by Gaspar
Enriquez, and near the Durango Bridge
over the Downtown Pedestrian walkway
to complement Creative Kids’ “Points of
Lights” steel piñata sculptures.
El Paso artists have found that social
media is another way to connect, share
their work and find public art opportuni-
ties. They range from city’s Public Arts
Program’s Facebook page to the El Paso
Art Scene online gathering spot for per-
forming and visual artists to share their
camps, exhibits, and find others seeking
likeminded artists for public art and simi-
lar projects. One such project was a recent
