Take a tour of murals and sculptures that reflect the vision and perspective of several major artists. We will visit three government buildings and discuss a variety of styles and media.
• Tom Lea’s Pass of the North mural, recognized as “The finest mural of the New Deal period.”
• Carlos Callejo’s Our History mural is packed with collaged vignettes of historic people, places, and events.
• John Valadez’ A Day in El Paso del Norte mural depicts a vibrant downtown scene.
• James Drake’s Pass of the North sculpture tells El Paso’s history through steel.
