The Opportunity

US 50 Mural Project – Celebrating America’s Highway

Turning a Wall into a Landmark for Canon City!

Thousands of cars pass by the large back wall of Safeway along US Highway 50 in Canon City, Colorado every day. This is our opportunity to turn it into something iconic—a community-designed mural that celebrates the journey of US 50 across America and our town’s unique place on it.

Now accepting submissions until April 10!

The Vision

US Highway 50 stretches over 3,000 miles, crossing 12 states and the District of Columbia. It begins in Ocean City, Maryland, runs through Washington, D.C., St. Louis, the Rocky Mountains, Nevada’s “Loneliest Road”, and ends in Sacramento, California. This mural will reflect the historic journey of America’s Highway while capturing the identity of Canon City and Fremont County.
