Mural Walk

On buildings throughout Bishop the history of the Owens Valley is depicted on the exterior walls in the form of historically accurate and visually beautiful murals. A walk around town is a wonderful way to learn a little of its history from the beautiful murals that tell of its past.

The Bishop Mural Society was established in 1997 “to display our heritage in a spectacular outdoor art gallery surrounded by natural beauty.” Today there are fifteen murals, the most recent of which is made up of 421 sculpted ceramic tiles and mosaic, created by 216 community members.

The society is a founding member of the California Public Art and Mural Society and mural projects are ongoing through the generous support of the community.
