(PUEBLO, Colo.) — There are some new pieces of art hanging in the Pueblo Mayor’s office, made by some very special artists.
Students from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County created unique artworks, which were picked by the Pueblo Arts Alliance to be displayed in City Hall. Pueblo Arts Alliance partnered with Mayor of Pueblo Heather Graham in April of 2024 for a monthly rotating art installation in the lobby of the Mayor’s Office in City Hall. Each month features a different artist with the opportunity for the public to purchase artwork through the Pueblo Arts Alliance.
On Friday, Nov. 14, kids were joined by Mayor Graham for a public open house to showcase the student’s work.
“So we have a lot of creative young minds in our community, and as somebody in leadership, I think that that is truly inspiring for generations to come, knowing that the kiddos that come through the Boys and Girls Club are going to be part of that,” said Mayor Graham.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County recently partnered with Pueblo City-County Library District at the Robert Hoag Rawlings Library for an art installation during the month of October. Pueblo Arts Alliance curated and selected 10 pieces of artwork by students from multiple clubhouses from that art display at the Rawlings Library to now showcase on a smaller scale in City Hall.
“I’m so excited to see students’ artwork displayed here at City Hall with Boys and Girls Clubs of Pueblo County,” said Mayor Graham. “I’m grateful to have Pueblo Arts Alliance coordinate and showcase our many talented artists each month and this unique opportunity to support our local students for November’s installation.”
The community can see the art at City Hall through the second week of December.
