Oklahoma City among best cities for street art in the US

Walking through Oklahoma City, you can’t ignore the street murals that fill many of the walls of the buildings. This year, the city was named the 9th best for murals and street art.  

Each of Oklahoma City’s historic districts uses murals to set the tone of the community around you. In the Plaza district, murals contain vibrant colors and full imagery, while Film Row pays homage to historical greats.  

Even while driving through downtown and Bricktown, you see art filling the underpasses of the train tracks and highway on-ramps. The murals act as a nice way to feel united with the community around you, whether you’re shopping in the 39th Street District or exploring the Western Ave District.
