Arkansas River Levee Mural Project

The Pueblo Levee Mural Project…

The Pueblo Levee Mural Project is a mural along a levee of the Arkansas River, at one point certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest painting in the world.

In 2022 Southern Colorado Trail Builders decided to be part of this historic project.

ARTIST:

Daniel Levinson earned a BFA degree in Art from the University of Colorado at Boulder and an MFA in Painting/Drawing from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. His art practice is a steady mix of drawing, painting and murals. His work has been featured in Medellín/Bogotá, Colombia and Brooklyn, NY. Returning to Colorado, his work was exhibited at the Colorado State Capitol as well as a number of venues across the front range. Levinson is represented by Blo Back Gallery in Pueblo, CO. Levinson works as a full time art educator and visual artist. He taught art at Colorado State University at Pueblo (2016) and has been a high school art teacher since 2017. He currently lives and works in Littleton, Colorado.

DESIGN concept:

Our mural represents those who use the trail systems. The idea is to connect trails with human health. The artwork reflects the work of the organization, with emphasis on the land of Southern Colorado. The style choice of painting follows the artists’ preference for abstract realism. With regards to subject matter, the story of the mural shows various recreational opportunities that come from having a trail cut through the environment.
