Pedestrians entering the country through the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry were greeted by a new piece of street art in August as they walked onto the first block of Terrace Avenue: Big, bold white letters reading âNogalesâ painted over a vividly colord background of thin horizontal lines on a brick wall. âBasically, we wanted the word âNogalesâ because itâs the port, so we wanted a type of welcome, like a postcard,â said Priscilla Nefftys, one of the artists behind the mural, part of a bigger project called âNogalerÃaâ or âNogallery,â which encompasses the cultural identity and history of Ambos Nogales. Nefftys, Gerardo Frias and Tony Plak launched the effort with a grant from the University of Arizona Confluence Center for Creative Inquiry.
