Introduction/Background

For more than a decade the whimsical mural painted in the 90’s at the Aurora underpass at N. 63^rdStreet was left largely unmolested.  Two years ago graffiti overwhelmed the mural and it now stands covered by solid gray paint.  The 63^rd Street Mural Steering Committee has received a grant from the Department of Neighborhoods to create new artwork designed by local artists and maintained by the community for a period of five years.  The goal is to create a mural that will beautify the neighborhood, delight passers-by and stand as a statement of our community’s commitment to this heavily travelled gateway.
