Montãno Park Mural Restoration
In the Historic Guadalupe District of Santa Fe

We are working as a community with the original artist, Carlos Cervantes,
to restore the murals in Lous Montanyo Park on Alto Street
in the historic Guadalupe District.
Come meet the artist, help paint, learn about our historic neighborhood,
and celebrate where we live.

Tax-deductible donations to provide a stipend for the original muralist can also be made below through the local, educational nonprofit, Community Learning Network,
​based in the Historic Guadalupe District.

Montanyo Park is a small pocket park between Alto Street and the Santa Fe River
just south of West Alameda between Saint Francis and Guadalupe
across from the Santa Fe Boys and Girls Club in the Historic Guadalupe District
​just north of the Railyard. Wear clothes you can get paint on!

We have been having fun painting!

(and it is looking great already!)

26 visiting high school students from Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, California,
came to to help restore the murals in Louis Montãno Park.
It was magical and we have included pictures below!
In kind with CLN’s mission of “building community through real-life learning,” students met with the original artist,
Carlos Cervantes, and learned about the history of the region first-hand, from his stories and art. Thanks to the “Love Where We Live” TM initiative, CLN is working to revitalize community connections through service learning, experiential education, and youth ambassador training...and is collaborating with the Santa Fe Association of REALTORS, the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Fe/Del Norte, the Historic Guadalupe District Homeowners’s Association, the City of Santa Fe, and the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission to repaint and refurbish the existing murals in the small pocket park between Alto street and the Santa Fe River known as Louis Montãno Park.
