North Boulder
North Boulder's manufacturing corridor along Valmont Road and the warehouse blocks near the diagonal are Boulder's primary large-format mural zone. The industrial buildings here offer the wall dimensions that downtown storefronts can't match, attracting artists who work at the scale of a building side — 50 to 100 feet wide — and whose compositions require that kind of room to breathe.

"Confluence" depicts a great blue heron dissolving at its edges into thousands of metallic shards — a comment on the fragility of the riparian ecosystems that define Boulder Creek and the wetlands at the city's northern edge.
Saner
Mexico City's Saner (Edgar Flores) populates his murals with folk-masked figures and animals drawn from Mexican folk tradition. "Front Range Fauna" applies his masked-character approach to Colorado wildlife — a masked mountain lion, a folk-costumed black bear, a pronghorn in ceremonial regalia — treating the animals of the Front Range as mythological beings worthy of ritual representation.
Revok
"Industrial Prairie" on the Valmont warehouse corridor brings Revok's layered gestural abstraction to bear on the color field of the surrounding landscape — the ochres and sage greens of the Boulder foothills, the deep earth tones of an industrial district that sits at the edge of open space.
