Overview
Artist Dany Reyes painted “Empowering Youth for Global Change” on the Cochran Park-facing wall at 2200 2nd Ave. Reyes' mural portrays a diverse range of children engaged in impactful and positive activities, symbolizing their collective contributions to the world. "My children were my inspiration behind this mural, and I specifically chose and admired this location because my children go to school right next door, and it directly faces Cochran Park, where they have spent a significant amount of their childhood," said Reyes. The mural hones in on the power of children and their ability to impact the world.
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 AVE 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.
Council Bluffs is home to several murals that tell the history of our area and bring vibrance to our community! Discover the creativity!
