Occasum Memorial 1

Enid Counseling & Diagnostic Services, 230 W Maple

Artist: Chris Bodelle

Latin for Sunset Memory, Occasum Memorial was painted in honor of a classmate of the building’s owner.

The Enid News & Eagle and Eagle Marketing are pleased to present this printed collection of Enid’s unique and amazing public art, including murals, sculptures and statues.

When you drive around Enid, you will find a wonderful outdoor gallery of fine art that everyone can enjoy. Enid has nearly 100 murals, statues and monuments that are visible to the public simply walking or driving by.

These displays represent the work of more than two dozen artists. Some of the most prolific locally are Kelly and Ty Tompkins and Tox Murillo. We also make special note of the significant contributions by H Holden, who died in December 2023. He leaves an impressive legacy with his bronze sculptures in Enid and throughout Oklahoma.

Mural designs have exploded in Enid over the last several years, and new art is popping up almost every week. We added pages to this Enid Public Art Guide in an effort to include everything, but look for updated information on VisitEnid.org and HiveAppeal.com.

We want to give special acknowledgement to Rob Houston of Visit Enid, Kelly Tompkins with Hive Appeal, and Tox Murillo for helping us document as many works of local art as possible. They will continue to update this list as new displays area added. Special thanks to LynnDe Funk for additional photography and layout work, making this artwork look great in your hands.

What you have here is a great compilation of outdoor public art in Enid. Now, the rest is up to you. Get out and enjoy!

But, wait, there’s more ...

Did you know there’s research showing many people want to live near public art? And that there is strong evidence indicating people’s mood and health can improve when interacting with or simply observing public art?

Thank you for picking up this second edition of the Enid Public Art Guide from the Enid News & Eagle, and once again, Visit Enid is proud to serve as title sponsor. Our website, VisitEnid.org, promotes Enid’s visitor assets, including retail, restaurants, festivals and events, and yes, its public art. We realize today’s workforce is looking for quality of life and quality of place, and it is those visitor assets, including our public art, making those qualities possible in Enid.

Public art directly supports cultural tourism and economic development strategies, improving Enid’s chances at attracting new and visiting populations. People come to Enid just to see the art, providing economic impact for our city, and showing residents and visitors that Enid cares about the culture and wellbeing of its population.

With today’s gifted and imaginative muralists such as Kelly & Ty Tompkins, Tox Murillo and Chris Bodelle, we don’t see Enid’s decade-long public art boom slowing down anytime soon. So use this guide and take an art walk through our city. Snap a selfie in front of it. My guess is that your mood will improve.

Communities, Inspiring Growth

In Enid, we’re lucky. Enid is fortunate to have a vibrant artistic scene.

Research shows that public art and performing arts bring a multitude of benefits to our communities. Its ability to foster connections and combat feelings of anxiety and isolation is invaluable, especially in recent years. When community members actively engage in creating art, these positive effects are magnified.

Furthermore, the Arts contribute to economic growth by attracting more tourists and potential job creation. Murals, in particular, play a significant role in enhancing the artistic appeal of our city and boosting its visibility.

One of the most significant impacts of public art is its ability to create what urban designer Mitchell Reardon describes as “community fingerprints”—spaces that resonate with individuals, strengthen community bonds, and instill a sense of ownership and belonging in our neighborhoods.

Remember, the arts enrich our lives, inspire us, and create a sense of belonging. Whether you’re an artist, an appreciator, or both, Enid’s artistic spirit is alive and well. We invite you to explore and engage in Enid’s arts and the opportunities to foster community connections. Art truly is all around us, enriching our lives in countless ways.
