Once upon the longest levee mural
The Arkansas River levee is the canvas for the Pueblo Levee Mural Project‚ a 3-mile-long piece of artwork that holds the Guinness Book of World Records’ distinction as being the world’s largest continuous painting.The mural began in the 1970s with isolated "graffiti" but took hold when a group of CSU-Pueblo students painted large mural artworks along the levee. It did not take long for other artists to lend a helping paint brush to different sections of the levee. Over time‚ the pieces merged together‚ making the levee a continuous tapestry of shapes‚ colors and images. The Pueblo Conservancy District began a renovation of the 90-year-old levee in 2014 unfortunately eliminating or adversely effecting the majority of the mural.
