FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - The "Alebrijes & Nahuales: Fantastic Animals" art installations at Fresno State, Fresno City College, and Arte Americas are meant to share the work of artisanal Oaxacan artists, but there's more to the giant statutes than that.

Fresno State President Saul Jimenez Sandoval says alebrijes symbolize spiritual guides, and all students from all walks of life can appreciate their beauty and artistry.

“It’s exciting to have these giant alebrijes in the heart of our campus for the next two months. I’m deeply grateful to Arte Americas for their partnership," Sandoval said. "It’s also great to see them at night, as they light up. The sculptures have only been on campus a few days, and already we are seeing students stop between classes, taking photos of them.”
