We Are Here Mural Takes Shape | Lawrence News

Local artist Dave Loewenstein is painting a colossal 20x50-foot mural titled “Estamos Aquí / We Are Here” on Free State’s Eastside Brewery wall, blending star charts, local wildlife, and the Burroughs Creek Trail into a vibrant community canvas. Inspired by community input and his own sketches, the mural features fireflies, a tandem bike, a snake, and even a mosasaur—symbolizing coexistence and the spirit of Lawrence. After approval from the Cultural Arts Commission, the project moves to the city commission, then invites locals to help paint it live—a nostalgic, collaborative experience Loewenstein hopes will create a lasting, magical landmark that endures for decades.
