Delta: City of Murals
|
There’s a certain love for art in this small Western Slope community and they certainly don’t mind sharing. Historic Highway 50 is Main Street in the community of Delta and along that Main Street you can find murals and sculptures created by local artists that celebrate the heritage of our crossroads community. Plan to spend an afternoon enjoying the more than 30 art installations located around town. It’s a great way to explore the downtown area, visit our shops and stop for a bite to eat in any one of an assortment of local eating establishments.
