A noun every day, forever? Yes, please! Imagine a permanent Nouns sculpture large enough to be visible from satellite imagery—right in the heart of Art City, a vibrant creative hub in Tucumcari, New Mexico, located off the iconic Route 66.
In 2021, The Most Famous Artist (TMFA) launched an artist residency in Tucumcari, planting creative roots by painting murals and starting development on his Art City concept. Art City has invested over $1.35 million to create a home to 13 interactive sculptures (many from Burning Man) for the public to enjoy. In the last year, Art City became a top-rated destination for global travelers and artists.
Art City expects 25,000 visitors in 2025 and even more in 2026 for Route 66’s 100th anniversary.
Once installed, we can ask mapping companies to update their images of Art City so that Google Earth displays the Nouns artwork.
This sculpture proposal aims to blend art, functional design, and the playful spirit of Nouns, creating a lasting touchstone for creativity and exploration.
Route 66, often called the “Mother Road,” is a legendary 2,400-mile highway filled with whimsical roadside attractions. Some iconic sculptures along Route 66 include:
These attractions embody Route 66's playful, creative spirit, and our interactive Nouns sculpture will join this celebrated tradition.
Located on 40 acres in Tucumcari, Art City is now in its second year of operation. Founded by TMFA, it’s home to iconic sculptures created by artists from around the world, including Ghana, New York, Argentina, and San Francisco.
Art City offers camping, glamping, and day passes, drawing thousands of visitors eager to experience large-scale interactive art. The park transforms at night with neon lights and fire installations and is set to host dozens of events in 2025.
