Each time this year, as parades and fireworks fill our 4th of July celebrations, we celebrate
America’s birth as a nation. However, the Rail Yards Market (RYM) would like our community to consider celebrating this holiday by considering our Inter-dependence on each other and appreciate the holistic nature of our community, society and world.
One Market, One Community, One World, One Love
Lets think of how we treat other, how we treat the earth and natural resources, how nations interact with one another with the the realization that we are all connected. Think of how we can celebrate our freedom as a nation through working to improve our communities, our state, and other parts of the world, knowing that if they suffer, we suffer as well. Let’s celebrate knowing that we can all prosper together as a global community, a society and an interconnected community here in Albuquerque at the Rail Yards Market.

At the Pop-Up Art Zone we will be featuring the art of Joel Davis. “A re-‐occurring theme in my work is the duality that occurs within nature and Society. I feel that everything we perceive and interact with contains opposing Truths. Using predominantly recycled materials such as Tile, Stone, Steel, Trash, And reclaimed wood, I attempt to create work that shows alternative perspectives To Social, Political, and Environmental issues. The other side of my creative process is just simply making an effort to create Art out of materials others have discarded. Often the found object Suggests the finished piece.”
The Children’s Zone is bringing in Keith Sanchez, internationally recognized singer-songwriter, who will be giving free lessons to the kiddos! Bring your own guitar and meet Keith at the Community Stage at 10!! Keith is the founder and lead instructor at the New Mexico Academy of Rock & Blues.

The Sustainability Zone brings the everyday chemical-free products of NM Organics! “We are a local small company focused on our lead product No Mo B.O pit cream! This is a natural deodorant made from organic products that contains no aluminum. Most deodorant has aluminum as the main ingredient as anti-perspirant.
