Pueblo Levee Mural Project became “The Largest Outdoor Mural Gallery in the World” in the Guinness World Book of Records from 1995-2016. These murals spanned the concrete levee wall along the Historic Arkansas River, in Pueblo Colorado. The wall was built in 1921 after the 1921 flood that left downtown Pueblo under 25 ft. of water. The river waters were diverted to the present location and this 65 ft. concrete wall was built to protect the city from future large floods.
The Mural Project was over 200,000 sq. ft. of continuous paintings that were on a wall that spanned 3 miles long. The wall is on average 65 ft. tall and slopes at a 45-degree angle. Hundreds of artists, non-artists, and students have made their mark on the wall and this number grows as the wall is constantly being worked on.
