Another levee mural piece has now been created courtesy of Denver artist, Diego Florez! Take a few minutes for our third installment of Levee Talks where Diego tells you a little about himself as well as his piece “Florezca La Folklórico.”

A huge shoutout to Ryan Yanke, Wyatt Geibig and one of our current students, Paige Hyatt for helping Diego with this piece. We have such a special community of artists.

Take a few minutes and hear from one of our talented, experienced community artists, Tonio LeFebre (). He has also been getting some help from another amazing artist, Eric Sarracino, who is a very talented muralist and artist as well.

Over the last few days he took the time to talk a little bit about his history painting murals on the Arkansas River levees, both in the early 90s and today.Thank you for speaking with us,Tonio. Beautiful work.
