Hoisington's Wall Mural and Metal pole art

Cheyenne Bottoms is considered the most important ecosystem in Kansas and has been designated as a Wetland of International Importance. It may also be the most important shorebird migration point in the western hemisphere. It is estimated that 45%of the North American shorebird population stops at the Bottoms during spring migration.

Hoisington is the only city located in the Cheyenne Bottoms basin. To further the education of the importance of the Bottoms 62 light poles along Hoisington’s Main Street display metal banners depicting the birds, wildlife and history of Cheyenne Bottoms.

These banners, designed by Bruce Bitter of B&B Metal Arts, were unveiled and dedicated in 2007. Individuals, businesses, Hosington High School Alumni Classes, and civic groups sponsored each unique design.

While in Hoisington, view Hoisington's public mural that depicts the history and future of Hoisington. It was painted in the fall of 2006 by members of the community under the direction of Christina Lamoureaux, mural designer and Hoisington High School Art Instructor. The mural was funded by Hoisington Main Street, Inc, along with a grant received from the Kansas Art Commission and pancake feeds sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. The Hoisington Recreation Commission managed the project expenditures. The mural is painted on the front side of the Knights of Columbus Hall.
