We support Mitch Berg and Fuego Studio School. Offering intimate multi-day workshops and collaborative work space, Fuego is a hub for creativity, learning and fun. We understand that a conditional use permit is required for Fuego to function as a legal, public entity in Bernalillo County. We recognize that Fuego is located in Albuquerque's South Valley -- a neighborhood sensitive to economic and cultural change -- and we are aware of an appeal against this three-year permit. With this in mind, we believe that Fuego is a positive contribution to the neighborhood and trust Mitch and his council of advisors to do the outreach necessary to build and maintain healthy relationships. We support the acquisition of a conditional use permit that will allow Mitch to operate Fuego and therefore share the transformational power of art.
