The Creative Beet Art District is excited to announce that, thanks to a grant from the Oregon Trail Community Foundation, a new mural by Fat Cap Sprays has been completed on the Bovidr Laboratories building at 1709 First Avenue!

This mural is part of a regional series connecting Scottsbluff with Alliance, Chadron, and Gordon. These murals showcase how art brings our communities together.

Be sure to check out the mural in person! Soon you will also be able to scan an interactive QR code at the site! You'll be able to learn more about the project and discover the locations of the other murals across the Panhandle, making it easy to explore the entire regional mural trail.

A huge thank you to the Oregon Trail Community Foundation for supporting public art and placemaking in our region. We can't wait for everyone to experience this incredible addition to downtown Scottsbluff!
