We are launching Neon Alley, a brand-new alley activation project in downtown Carlsbad, and right now, it is a blank space waiting to be transformed.

We’re looking for New Mexico artists to help bring this project to life through public art.

Could one of the first murals be yours?

Explore the project, check out the available mural opportunities, and find out how to submit your idea:
