Celebrates downtown Gallup

Coal Avenue Commons held the ribbon-cutting for its first phase Aug. 24.

It is part of the gallupARTS partnership with the City of Gallup to re-imagine Coal Avenue as a signature “event street” and creative commercial hub.

Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts “Our Town” grant in 2018, which was matched by $150,000 from local government, the process is underway.

Mayor Louis Bonaguidi took note of the changes.

“Coming out of the theater last Thursday night (Aug. 19) when it was dark and seeing the street lit up, I can’t help but think we did the right thing. This is great,” Bonaguidi said.  “I think everybody in this community is...

The new school year has begun for Gallup-McKinley County School District students, and this school looks a little different than last year.

During the Aug. 23 school board meeting, the district’s Superintendent Michael Hyatt told the board that the district ended last school year with about 25 percent of its students doing in-person learning. At the beginning of this year, about 90 percent of students are returning to campus.

“We’re very pleased with what’s taken place so far, given [that] we went from a school year where there was very little in-person learning happening, to a start of a school year where we have a lot of students back on campus,” Hyatt said. “The...

Will there be an ArtsCrawl 2021?

ArtsCrawl is usually a big part of Gallup’s social calendar during the spring, fall, and summer. But COVID-19 has kept it on hiatus for a year and a half. However, during the Business Improvement District meeting on Aug. 19, Executive Director Francis Bee gave the board some hope for the future.

“… I would say right now there’s like a 50/50 chance we’re going to have the ArtsCrawl, but we’re planning for it; because if you don’t plan for it, it certainly can’t happen,” Bee said.

Bee asked the city council to close Coal Avenue between First Street and Third Street and Second Street between Route 66 and Aztec Avenue. The closures were approved.

“We’re keeping a...
