Murals Murals Everywhere

The Stunning Urban Murals of Cheyenne Wyoming

Murals over the last few decades have been used in cities to revive and bring some beauty and art to huge, at times forgotten walls. It’s a strategy to add some color and art to areas that are blighted, prone to tagging, and in need of a public art response to make the area look and feel more inviting.

I never expected to see such amazing murals in Cheyenne’s historic downtown. Cheyenne is a small town of about 65,000. Wyoming capital and most populous city. Once known as the “Magic City on the Plains”, Cheyenne was a hub of activity for cattle ranching, oil, etc. in the late 1800/the early 1900s. It’s along the Front Range of the Rockies. Great western town. But not the spot I’d expected to see the awesome artwork I did. Here are some samples.
