CASPER MURALS
Painting the Walls of Central Wyoming!
We're convinced that when art takes to the streets of Wyoming, the most beautiful people and places come together. And we would be lying if we told you that our town's murals weren't at the top of the list of our favorite things. From the powerful paintings on the faces of downtown's most iconic buildings to the colorful pieces around the corner, our public art scene (and the bold creatives that make it happen) have really been showing off lately.
Whether you're reveling in the Casper Art Walk that takes place in Downtown Casper on the first Thursday of June - September or you would like to find your mural muse all your own, we've gathered a list of the Oil City's finest murals below. Pack a camera and dial-in to our phone tour! Download a map HERE or pick one up at our downtown visitor's center.
Casper Mural Project
The Casper Mural Project is responsible for several murals that you'll find throughout the streets of Casper. With a mission to foster and encourage community expression through the creation of public art in the form of murals, the mural project helps Casper's creativity shine. Their murals tell stories that inspire deeper compassion among Casper neighbors, wider cultural understanding and empathy, and focus on stories of inspiration, social justice, and community peace. Check out some of their work below!
The Rev. James Reeb Memorial Mural
The Rev. James Reeb Memorial Mural was the vision and passion project of The Table, brought to life at 225 S. David Street, along the East facing wall of the property, in 2020. It has sparked the creation of the Casper Mural Project, which aims to paint downtown in the vibrant colors of Casper’s most important stories. This mural was created with the purpose to inspire empathy and compassion as the greatest human power, sparked by the legacy of our hometown everyday hero, Rev. James Reeb. Learn more here.

Women of Wyoming
Located at 147 S Center St. in the alley next to Cadillac Cowgirl, the Women of Wyoming mural is a tribute to all of Wyoming's women, past, present, and future. as stated by the artist, Koda Witsken, "The goals of the “Women of Wyoming” mural are to uphold CMP beliefs and Casper community branding standards to “inspire deeper compassion among Casper neighbors, wider cultural understanding and empathy, and focus on stories of inspiration, social justice, and community peace.” The mural is meant to foster positivity and inclusivity by honoring the strong, bold women of the Eastern Shoshone people. The mural design showcases local flora, such as cactus flowers, the Shoshone rose, and other local wildflowers. Women arts administrators, photographers, models, and painters are at the helm of this special project." Learn more here.
The Better Together Mural
It was March 2020 and the world slowed to a crawl as we all made an effort to curtail the spread of Covid-19. These extreme changes to our daily lives put immense pressure on essential workers, who had to step up even more to keep life moving forward. During this unprecedented time essential workers had to endure unusual circumstances and extreme precautions that made typical work more complex and stressful. While Covid-19 was keeping us all apart, the Casper Mural Project wanted to inspire and remind our community for years to come that we’re Better Together. This mural is located at 201 E 2nd St. on the east side of the Atrium Plaza. Learn more here.
