OIL MURAL - ENERGY FROM THE HEARTLAND
Find the Oil Mural at 400 S. Commerce, at the corner of Waterman and Commerce, directly south of the Intrust Bank Arena.
Desk and Derrick members wondered why Wichita, a city with so many murals, did not have a mural honoring the energy industry in Kansas. It took several years to locate a wall for long-term display and to raise funds. Finally, in 2025, the Energy From the Heartland Mural became a reality.
Visitors to the Oil Mural can scan a QR code which will direct them to this webpage and the sponsor list below - the companies that work to provide transportation energy, heating, cooling, and products used every day by the people of Kansas.
