This is the message from Taveyah, a teen from nearby Highland High school. In January, 2011, a group of artist/educators formed an afterschool art club at Highland  with the goal of engaging local teens in  a collaborative design process to create new images  to be professionally produced and installed in a dilapidated sign along Central Avenue.

Friends of the Orphan Signs thanks Matthew Terry of Nob Hill Development Association, who worked with us to create a permanent easement that grants this sign to the city of Albuquerque as a site for  public art.
