Route 66 Remixed: An Art Fueled Road Trip 

The City of Albuquerque has announced Route 66 Remixed, a creative reimagining of the city's 18-mile stretch of Route 66. This innovative public art project will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the historic highway and invites locals and visitors alike to explore its legacy through murals, sculptures, and augmented reality (AR) experiences. Created in partnership with Meow Wolf and Refract Studio, Route 66 Remixed transforms Albuquerque's Route 66 into an art-fueled road trip across the city. Along the Route, travelers will discover 18 large-scale public art installations and site-specific digital activations that reflect the stories, traditions, and people that have helped to shape Albuquerque.

The project is led by the City of Albuquerque’s Department of Arts & Culture, with support from Visit Albuquerque, Meow Wolf, Refract Studio, and local artists. Additional partners include the New Mexico Tourism Department and community organizations throughout Albuquerque.
