Located very close to the Rio Grande bosque and Nature Center, the community still has a strong connection to its agricultural heritage. Many residents of Los Candelarias trace their lineage back over numerous generations to the founding families.

     This sculpture representing the Rio Grande River and the acequia irrigation system is the primary focus of our work. It provides an entry/exit marker to the Los Candelarias Village Center on the western end of the streetscape improvement project.
 

 

    

 


 

 

  
   Two freestanding sculptures
representing grains are located
alongside the placita at the Candelaria entrance to John Brooks Market. These continue the agricultural theme established for the project.

 


 

     On the north side of Candelaria between 11th and Otra Vez, we incorporated sculptures into the cast concrete retaining wall. These are also variations on the river and agriculture themes.
