Friends of the Orphan Signs (FOS) is a collaborative public art organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since 2010, FOS has been dedicated to creatively revitalizing abandoned or unused road signs with artwork and poetry, bringing together artist-educators and community members to preserve relics of past roadside culture that are often overlooked for restoration.
Through their innovative projects, such as the iconic Sundowner Sign and the Keywords text-based art project, FOS has successfully transformed these orphan signs into vibrant pieces of public art, showcasing the talent and creativity of local artists while engaging the community in the process. With a focus on collaboration and revitalization, FOS continues to contribute to the cultural landscape of Albuquerque, breathing new life into forgotten signs and creating a visual narrative that celebrates the city's unique identity.
