One of the great things about Eureka is the amazing support the town gives to local artists. A particularly enjoyable result of that are the eye-popping murals on the walls of buildings all over Eureka, especially in Old Town and Downtown. One of the best ways to appreciate this amazing outdoor art is to take the self-guided walking tour, which will lead you to many of the murals. You will get a short explanation of the significance of each mural, and learn who painted the work of art in front of you. You will see amazing pieces like “Indian Island,” “Alley Cats” and “Busy Dogs,” among many others. Artist Duane Flatmo, who painted many of these murals, has garnered significant attention for his whimsical, neo-cubist style.
The tremendous colors and inspiring scenes depicted in its murals add so much to Eureka. A fabulous little tour gives you a chance to breathe the fresh coastal air and feel the sunshine on your face while you enjoy the brilliant artwork sprawled across the cityscape. After the walking tour you can take a short drive, shown on the Chamber of Commerce map, to see more of Eureka's murals.
