While many art forms have hit a dead end during the pandemic, murals have continued to spread across Colorado. But if you want to venture out to see street-art paintings past and present, good luck: It s not easy to track them down much less trace their historic roots.
There s no map or guidebook that tells the story of the art on walls and buildings around the state. No cultural institution preserves its history, either. Not History Colorado. Not the Western History Collection at the Denver Public Library. Not the Denver Art Museum. That makes it difficult to determine what s been painted, who did it when.and why. Sometimes, the where disappears altogether.
