Ponca City Murals

Ponca City Murals

The postcard mural was a partnership project between PCDA/City Central and former Ponca City resident and professional artist Carlene Wallace. It was inspired by vintage travel postcards of the 1950s and 1960s, and highlights several landmarks and sights in Ponca City including City Hall, the Standing Bear statue, Lake Ponca, the Pioneer woman and more. The postcard mural is visited by locals and tourists and has been highlighted in a multitude of pictures. It's definitely a stop for anyone that wants to mark their trip to Ponca City!

Artist- Michelle Wittmer

This mural was a collaboration project between PoncaCity Main Street and the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Kindra Riddel, who is an up-and-coming Oklahoma artist,completed and designed the piece that is featured in the alleyway at 122 E.Grand Ave. This colorful and eye-catching mural shows an embrace between twopeople and lists the number “988” in two sections of the artwork. 988 is thenew three-digit dialing code that connects people to the national suicide andprevention lifeline. The hope of this piece of art is to be a constant reminderthat “To the world you are someone, but to someone you are the world”!

As a local Ponca City artist, Theresa Sacket wanted to paint a fox mural identifiable to Ponca City. In June of 2022, Theresa contacted Alena Jennings, Owner (and a fellow artist) of the Doodle Academy to talk paint. Jennings donated the paint for this mural and a matching grant was provided by PC Arts to cover the rest of the mural costs. This Ponca City Fox can be seen duplicated throughout the community in several different color variations. Reproductions of the Ponca City fox are available for sale on prints, cards, t-shirts. Such is the popularity of this fox, a local AirBnB owner asked for it to be reproduced inside her fox inspired and decorated home away from home.



This beautiful poisonous lionfish mural was designed and executed by Kortny Miller, AKA Red Dirt Rosie, and sponsored by Lobaugh Law and The Doodle Academy. Kortney’s vision for this mural was to have a visual representation of two items intertwined which would never be seen together in reality.  This mural is directly across from the Ponca City library, a place where incongruous things often meet. The mixture of a poisonous lionfish and the dogwood blossoms is designed to encourage adults and children use their imaginations to create different stories and new worlds.

Every few years, the Ponca City Development Authority searches for an artist to help brighten up City Central. In 2022, PCDA created a community mural project for the public to participate in the creation of this beautiful mural. Colors coordinate with a number on the wall, almost like a paint-by-number, and this is open to all ages. Bradley Hayes, a local Ponca City artist created, designed and executed this colorful circular mural. Thank you Bradley for sharing your creative thoughts.
