Railroad shops and a roundhouse were first erected on the site of the former Santa Fe Railway Shops in the 1880s, after Albuquerque was designated as the division point between the AT&SF railway and the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. After buying out the A&P in 1902, the Santa Fe Railway began expanding and modernizing the old A&P shops in 1912. The first buildings to be completed were the roundhouse, storehouse, power station, and freight car shops, all of which were located south of the surviving complex near the present Bridge Boulevard overpass. These structures have since been demolished, but the subsequent buildings completed after 1915 are all still standing.[1] The site consists of eighteen surviving buildings erected between 1915 and 1925. The complex is located south of downtown in the Barelas neighborhood, bounded by Second Street, Hazeldine Avenue, Commercial Street, and Pacific Avenue. The shops were one of four major maintenance facilities constructed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the others being located in Topeka, Kansas, Cleburne, Texas, and San Bernardino, California. The railway shops were the largest employer in the city during the railroad's heyday. The blacksmith shop was completed in 1917 and stands to the east of the boiler shop. It is the third largest building on the site at approximately 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2).[2] The building is of steel frame construction with brick and glass exterior walls.[1] The blacksmith shop was responsible for repairing cracked locomotive frames as well as forging replacement parts. *This Facebook page is operated by enthusiasts of the Rail Yards, and is not officially affiliated with the City of Albuquerque.

MISSION The mission of We Are This City is to develop authentic local, national and international infrastructure for creatives. We strive for long-term, sustainable growth for the creative economy. WHAT WE DO Albuquerque Voice Projects: The first Albuquerque voice project was the Albuquerque Manifesto poem written by Hakim Bellamy, the poem was inspired by We Are This City to shine positive light on who we are and what we are doing here in Albuquerque. The poem was made into a video by We Are This City, Hakim Bellamy & Concept Flux and has had great reception from the community. We Are This City is currently working on 2 more unannounced Albuquerque voice projects, both articulating the positivity of who we are and what we are doing here in ABQ. Stay tuned!! We Are This City Community Art Projects: In September 2015, We Are This City hosted two community-driven events titled “ABQ BALLOON BLAST,” in which more than 70 youth and families participated. These interactive art experiences invited community members to participate in fun, celebratory exchange while creating abstract art by throwing balloons filled with paint at a designated building and 10 MDF panels. These panels were then cut into 2×2’ sections and distributed, by invitation, amongst 70 artists to add their creative visions. The works were first exhibited in We Are This City’s pop-up show in Nob Hill, which 1,000+ people attended over two evenings in December 2015. They are currently being displayed in the Downtown gallery, THERAPY, where the art has been seen by an additional 2,500+ locals during private receptions. Next, We Are This City is exhibiting the ABQ Balloon Blast collection at the Albuquerque Museum in a one night pop-up event and has been chosen to do the stage design at the 2106 TEDxABQ which will incorporate the collection. Along with these 2 shows the city council has given We Are This City a budget to tour the collection to San Francisco. We Are This City has made 70 more canvases of similar style but instead of balloons filled with paint, 300+ kids put handprints in paint on the panels, which will also be distributed to 70 artists to make the Hands On art collection. Because of the extraordinary participation of the artists and our community, We Are This City has recognized the need to develop similar work in Albuquerque and in other cities, in a professional manner that compliments the quality of art, the community and the caliber of its creators. Further, the We Are This City art projects offer a powerful and compelling mechanism by which to increase the national and international recognition of creative capital — and thus to extend the visibility and viable markets for creative professionals, beyond the boundaries of their local communities. Vacant Buildings Initiative: We Are This City is developing a large-scale art initiative as an urban revitalization campaign, focused on Downtown Albuquerque starting with the Rosenwald building at 4th and Central. We Are This City has engaged with students from Ace Leadership, Amy Biehl, and Freedom High to install a large-scale art installation on the exterior of the Rosenwald. The key goal is to grow an extensive, and active community around large-scale art initiatives for Albuquerque and our sister cities which will help revitalize urban areas. Creative Sessions & Elevated Soapbox (community development): Creative Sessions is a monthly panel and workshop put on by We Are This City and THERAPY that explores how locals can work together to develop the creative economy here in ABQ. Once a month, panelists share perspectives and experiences on how they work, give insight into — fundamentally — how they negotiate their value, and engage in dialogue with attendees. Community building, networking and relationship cultivation, and economic/business development are core values of the program. Elevated Soapbox is a monthly event series put on by We Are This City and THERAPY that motivates locals to speak about their passions and ask meaningful questions that helps develop a foundation in the creative economy here in ABQ. Once a month speakers share their perspectives and experiences on how they work and give insight into how they the future of ABQ. Inspiration, engagement, celebration and community building are core values of the program. VALUE We Are This City has developed a strong community, through our projects, initiatives and partnerships and with the successes that our exhibitions and related professional development programs have achieved. We Are This City continues to leverage our relationships, the momentum and the support to develop something bigger within our community so that not only Albuquerque but our sister communities can grow and be proud of what we are doing and who we are as creatives. We believe that the economic and social impact of We Are This City has profound value to governments, schools, organizations, businesses, artists and to all of the communities at-large. We Are This City is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

DISCLAIMER!!!!!! This is for our south of the border family. We love that we get so much attention from clients south of the border as well as our brethren here in the states. BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE CONTACTING THE RIGHT GALLO NEGRO TATTOO STUDIO. There is one here in the states(our shop) and also one in Mexico that we have no affiliation to. Also this is going to sound a bit silly but most of us here in the shop are not fully bilingual most of us speak minimal amounts of spanish. If you could please translate your messages before sending them our way. We have unfortunately overlooked a lot of clients because of this. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN YOUR SHOP!!! -G/N
