Murals in Council Bluffs

Overview

Council Bluffs is home to several murals that tell the history of our area and bring vibrance to our community!

FIRST AVE TRAIL MURALS

The City of Council Bluffs has implemented a mural program along the newly constructed FIRST AVE Trail. This project, administered by the City of Council Bluffs with generous financial support from the Iowa West Foundation, has transformed the First Avenue corridor into a place of artistic expression. Local artists have lent their creative talents to convert the passageway into a vibrant canvas, adding a new dimension to the landscape. For more on the project, visit FirstAveCB.com.
