Vote for Your Favorite Poudre River Mural Design

Located in the heart of the River District in Old Town Fort Collins on the historic Bas Bleu Theatre Company building (401 Pine St, Fort Collins, CO 80524), this mural will celebrate the ecological, cultural, and community significance of the Poudre River, Northern Colorado’s shared lifeline.

We asked local artist, Chelsea Gilmore, to provide two designs for the mural at Bas Bleu, giving the community an opportunity to participate in the process of bringing more art to the River District. So, which design do you love the most?

Please submit your vote by Sept. 4, 2026. 

After you vote, submit your words of affirmation to the river, which Chelsea will use for her doodle grid. Submit these in the form below the voting.
