Special Lightings
The “Mining Minds” pickaxe sculpture located at the Sun Bowl-Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Roundabout will be illuminated in blue and orange from Wednesday evening, May 8, through Sunday evening, May 12, to commemorate UTEP’s Class of 2024.
“Mining Minds” is an iconic piece of public art installed in 2010 to enhance the UTEP campus. At night, orange lights brighten the steel structure while light from LEDs emanate from the perforated “ones” and “zeroes” at each end of the pick. The Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é illuminates the pick in blue and orange on special occasions such as historic dates, major annual milestones and celebrations of special accomplishments.
