The Great Mural Wall of Topeka was initiated in 2006 by the Chesney Park Neighborhood Improvement Association with a desire to instill community pride, beautify the neighborhood, and curtail graffiti. The project honors the cultural history and ongoing spirit of Topeka’s neighborhoods.
The 900-foot wall, located in the Chesney Park Neighborhood, was originally a city water reservoir. It has now become the canvas for a community wide mural painting effort that is supported by a multitude of neighborhood organizations and volunteers.
Under the direction of nationally recognized mural artist Dave Loewenstein, community members have researched, designed, and painted scenes depicting Topeka’s rich history. As of the fall of 2009 over 400 feet of the Great Mural Wall has been painted. Our goal for 2010 is to complete another 120 feet of mural and complete painting the entire 900 feet of the Great Mural Wall of Topeka by 2012. – Please Vote Now!
