FREE ART TOUR
self-guided
Go on an art-filled odyssey throughout Del Norte County, California to marvel at art murals that creatively capture our history, heritage, wildlife and Native culture ... and earn a free prize!
Stroll, bike or drive around Crescent City to view each art mural, plus visit art galleries and museums.
Head north to the town of Smith River (home of the Tolowa people) and then south to Klamath (home of the Yurok people) for not only more murals, but a variety of art galleries and outdoor attractions.
The art murals - made possible by The Redwood Mural Society and the artists - tell a rich story on the exteriors of many local businesses and schools. The Tsunami of 1964 mural gallantly shows the mark where the crashing waves hit their highest. From 60-foot-long oceanscapes to intricate mosaics of the Smith River, local artists have imaginatively captured the spirit of Del Norte County.
Happy art hunting!
