Call for artists announced for upcoming Greenway mural
Published on June 02, 2026
Leadership Cheyenne, the Cheyenne Greenway Foundation, the City of Cheyenne, and Arts Cheyenne are announcing a call for artist proposals for an upcoming mural on the Greater Cheyenne Greenway.
The mural is planned for a section of the Greenway in South Cheyenne at the large underpass at Walterscheid Boulevard just west of the Boys and Girls Club at 515 W. Jefferson Road. The goal is to partner experienced artists with youth artists to add multiple colorful mural pieces near the underpass used by those traveling east or west along the Greenway. The finished product is meant to inspire frequent users while generating more pedestrian traffic to the area.
The project is a collaborative effort between the Leadership Cheyenne Class of 2025-2026, the Cheyenne Greenway Foundation, the City of Cheyenne, and Arts Cheyenne to promote mental health awareness and engage young local artists in community beautification.
Fundraising for the project will be completed at the 2026 Boo Ball event at the end of October with mural installation projected for the spring of 2027.
Call for Artist Proposals
It is the wish of community partners that the murals include:
- Lots of color
- Inspirational imagery and messaging directed at increasing mental health and self-worth
Project partners are seeking experienced mural artists to partner with youth artists to add multiple colorful mural pieces. Artists interested in submitting a proposal should plan to include a rendering or sketch of their mural concept as well as a short description regarding how their concept fits the theme of the project.
This project is anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2027, following fundraising efforts led by the Leadership Class of 2025-2026 and the Cheyenne Greenway Foundation. A public reveal and celebration surrounding this project will be planned for Spring/Summer, 2027.
