We are incredibly excited to have had such a fantastic public unveiling of 3 new fractal public art installations on January 31’st, when we dedicated these new artworks at Monte Vista Elementary School in Albuquerque, NM.
These large scale installations are 3 of the 8 winning fractals from the Albuquerque Fractal Challenge, and were made by students at Monte Vista Elementary School.
(All eight winners of the Albuquerque Fractal Challenge will be honored during the annual Fractal Trianglethon on April 10th at the Albuquerque Convention Center.)
The unveiling ceremony for these fractals coincided with the unveiling ceremony for a historical plaque commemorating Monte Vista’s 80th anniversary; thus this celebration looked back at the past as well as to the future.
What a great celebration of these winning students’ creative accomplishments. On more giant step in making Albuquerque the Fractal Capital of the World!

Many thanks to our project sponsors, Albuquerque’s Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, and Albuquerque Community Foundation.
Jonathan- The old building looks great! The installers are coming back tomorrow to finish up. Thanks for what you do for the community, - particularly our young artists.
Wish I could be there right now — The New Mexico Technology Council applauds your efforts to engage and inspire our youth!
These are really lovely, and huge. We live a block from the school, and our son attends there. We’ve enjoyed sharing the art with visitors and family. Thanks for the education and a beautiful display.
