Art that connects us. 🎨🌄 Today, we dedicated We Are of the Mountain by New Mexican artist J P 제 피. Inspired by the Sandia Mountains and Korean artistic traditions, the mural celebrates culture, community, and connection.

The artwork is one of several new pieces added as part of our Dream of Flight renovation, helping tell the story of New Mexico to travelers from around the globe. ✈️🌎
