In 2005 the City of Gallup commissioned a mural project to beautify and capture the area’s heritage and history. The result is nine amazing murals within easy walking distance of each other in the downtown area.

Located on the East-facing wall of City Hall, artist Rick Sarracino shows some elements that have helped shape community life throughout Gallup’s history. Elements include the public library, schools, coal mining, the arts, and even a dark side.

In 2005 the City of Gallup commissioned a mural project to beautify and capture the area’s heritage and history. The result is nine amazing murals within easy walking distance of each other in the downtown area.

Located on the West-facing wall of City Hall, artists Paul Newman and Steve Heil emphasize the themes of landscape, railroads, Route 66, rodeos, western life, and coal mining. The shape of the mural was chosen to resemble windswept geologic strata, showing layers of history evocative of rock formations.
