Pueblo Levee Mural Project

The Pueblo Levee Mural Project runs for about 3 miles along the Arkansas River with continuous paintings covering the concrete levee surface. Multiple artists have contributed to create an outdoor gallery that stretches across the waterfront.

The project started in the 1970s when students from Colorado State University-Pueblo began painting over graffiti on the levee at night. What began as an informal effort grew into an organized community art program.

Local artists and community members have created works that show regional stories, important events, and messages about life here. The paintings reflect what matters to people in this area.

You can access this project through walking paths along the Arkansas River, with several entry points and parking areas near the riverwalk. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can see the artwork details and colors clearly.

This project holds a Guinness World Record as the longest continuous artwork in the world. The recognition highlights the remarkable achievement of covering so much concrete surface with art.
