Who’s Been Painting Cheyenne’s Water Towers?

Over the past few decades, America has been transformed by colorful murals covering what were once large, empty, single-color walls.

Most of the murals tell something of the town's history.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, has a project that is painting its water towers and tanks, and the artistry is AMAZING!

Cheyenne Water Tower Murals is a community-driven initiative to transform the city's water tower with a beautiful, inspiring mural.

This project is 100% donation-funded, and they ask for the community's support to make it happen! 

It's fascinating watching these artists work.

Let's take a look at how they lay out these images.

After selecting a photo, they arrive at night and project the image on the tank.

The artists then outline the photo.

From there, it's just a matter of adding color and shading. But, then again, the color and the shading are the hard part.

You can follow their fascinating progress on their Facebook page, Cheyenne Water Tower Murals. 

To help with fundraising, there are events and even chances to meet the artist.

This project is anticipated to be completed this year with fundraising efforts by a community committee -- led by an individual citizen, by the way.

A public reveal and celebration surrounding this project will be held in 2026, as a part of the America 250 celebrations. As the project commences, other events and opportunities will take place to engage the public and get community members involved.
